Copenhageners taste cuisines at street food festival

Xinhua, August 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

Tens of thousands of food lovers swarmed on Saturday morning to the banks of Peblinge and Sortedams lakes in Copenhagen to indulge themselves in cuisines of various flavors at the Copenhagen Street Food Festival.

The festival offers a wide selection of Danish as well as international street food such as new-style hotdog, hamburger, fish and chips, and much acclaimed Danish traditional food open sandwich, or smorrebrod in Danish.

The two-day event is the product of a collaboration program between local street food operators such as Kodbyens Food and Market, Rebel Food, Kitchen Collective and business review website Yelp.

According to Simon Kullegaard from Kodbyens Food and Market, one of the organizers, the aim of the festival is to collect street food makers in the country and create a melting pot of all sorts of flavors.

Street food is gaining more popularity over the past few years in Copenhagen, which is home to the four-time world's best restaurant and well known for its New Nordic Food.

The festival precedes Copenhagen Cooking and Food Festival, scheduled for later this month, where a food summit under the theme of "better food for more people" will be held too. Enditem
