Smørrebrød: Chicken salad, Potato and Grilled Sirloin by Adam Aamann

At their simplest, smørrebrød are open-faced sandwiches on a thin layer of rye bread  (rugbrød). The name of the sandwich itself comes from the words for butter (smør) and bread (brød). According to several sources, smørrebrød was first developed by farmers. They would pack leftovers from dinner the night beforehand and place them on a ‘plate’: a slice of bread.

From there, a gastronomic tradition was born. Adam Aamann inspired a rediscovery of smørrebrød and received the 2007 “Gastronomic Academy Honorary Award” for his efforts to make open sandwiches into a culinary craftsmanship.
