Øllebrød is a traditional rye bread porridge that is usually served as a sweet and nutritious breakfast. It consists of a mixture of stale rye bread soaked in water, milk, or traditional Danish beer, which is later cooked until it achieves a thick, homogenous texture.


Originally, it was a humble and rustic dish, but many modern varieties incorporate various additions such as whipped cream, citrus zest, raisins, and nuts to create a more nutritious meal.

Rømmegrøt is a traditional porridge originating from Norway. Although there are several variations, it's usually made with a combination of sour cream, flour, full-fat milk, and salt. It's recommended to use homemade or high-fat sour cream, with no gelatin or stabilizers.


The sour cream is shortly simmered and the flour is then sifted into the pot. The combination is simmered until the butterfat begins to separate, and the fat is skimmed off of the surface. The mixture is mixed with boiling milk and the porridge is whisked until smooth, simmered for a bit more and seasoned with salt.

It is traditionally topped with cream or milk and garnished with fresh fruit. Found across Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway and Latvia, this dish is usually enjoyed as a sweet breakfast, a light midday snack, or a refreshing dessert.
