[CW: cheese] It’s sliced cheese on bread & it’s rocking Copenhagen’s world. The Danish capital is obsessed with this stripped-down snack & the city’s top bakeries won’t stop until they’ve perfected it (archive.ph)

The Danish capital is not obsessing over this. Some bougie bakeries have turned a simple snack sold at gas stations and bakeries for generations into an overpriced tourist trap.

Most people in Denmark thinks everything about it, including the "BMO" abbreviation, is fucking stupid.

    My boss is obsessed with the bougie bakeries. (Not Denmark but I assume the situation is sort of similar across central European cities).

    It's sad how over the last decade or so a bunch of relatively affordable independent bakeries closed down and got replaced by bakeries where a loaf of bread or a sandwich costs almost as much as a full meal. And the bakery chains hiked up their prices too.

    Idk I guess knowing which farm the heritage grain came from is sort of nice but really not worth it to me.

    I concur. Everything about the "discussion" about the BMO is fucking stupid. Including the actual abbreviation. This just seems like a way for the weird bakeries to advertise themselves to a bunch of tourists that don't know anything.

    Also, I've tried a bunch of those bakeries at this point, and they all fucking suck. There's no good reason why a pastry that tastes like lawn-clippings should cost 50 DKK.
