Playing catch-up. Again, not much to report food-wise and we’re in the middle of a 3-day stay in Billund, home of Lego House (which was chaotic but awesome). Today, Legoland, here we come!
Thurs 18 Aug
Had a fun day at the aquarium and at the nearby “sea bath.” The harbors in and around Copenhagen are famously clean and people swim in them. For “lunch,” B and I picked on some very hot and crispy French fries while Spring Onion had a hot dog at the nearby snack shop. We’re finding that food takes time to come out, even at the simplest food venue. And everything is made with care.
We had every intention to go to the Design Museum but we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather (we’ve had almost constant sun and heat…only a brief spell of rain/cloudiness). Checked out Torvehallerne, the food hall in Norreport and it was hopping. I was craving noodles, so we went to nearby Slurp Ramen and it hit the spot. My veggie ramen was filled with grilled mushrooms. I prefer a different type of noodle, though. They use a thin, soba-like style, rather than the thicker, wave-ier one that I like. I don’t like eating eggs, so I gave B my jammy egg, which he gobbled up. On that hot day, B opted for the fried chicken snack and kimchee (interesting taste - I think beets may have been involved?). Refreshing house beer and it was fun to sit at the kitchen counter - the friendly cooks were entertaining to watch. I was sweating by the time I reached the end of my bowl. As dad used to say, it isn’t a good meal unless you are sweating by the end. 
Friday 19 Aug
Lunch was a quick panini at Lego House and then we didn’t emerge until way past what I thought would be a reasonable time for dinner. There are very few restaurants nearby. B had his heart set on Gastropub so I suggested we leave early enough to beat the scrum, which we failed. Spring Onion and I settled for cheese pizza at Mama’s, which was adequate. B enjoyed his “UFO” calzone which had beef kabob (the owners are Turkish).
Today and tomorrow, we’re at Legoland, which probably means eating inside the park, at least for lunch. Hope I live to tell the tale!
