Premiere of 6-course Danish food culture

Food historian Bettina Buhl from The Green Museum has put together a serving of six small dishes, all of which in their own fantastic way help tell a unique food cultural story about Denmark. The dishes themselves are prepared by Den Gamle Stald, who, based on Bettina's knowledge of the ingredients and preparation, have made their take on a historical food story.

Therefore, there is now a completely unique opportunity to really give your taste buds and other senses a different experience when you visit Denmark's national museum of food.

'With this dining experience, both our Danish and foreign guests have the opportunity to have a completely untraditional and different food experience presented and beautifully arranged. Because here you not only learn about the history of food, but you actually have the opportunity to dive into it, sense it and, not least, eat it,' says The Green Museum's food historian Bettina Buhl.

Along the way, during this time travel of a meal, you can gain more knowledge about the individual dishes and the raw materials in relation to the history, traditions and composition of ingredients.

Simply follow the servings from the Neolithic Age to the elaborate dishes of the post-war era in the order given.

The selected servings use ingredients that have had, and still have, great importance for Danish food culture.

It all starts 15,000 years ago in ancient times, when game and nuts were dominant. From there, you move through history, including the Middle Ages and the wartime – before ending with a timeless classic – which is probably one of the most Danish things you can imagine.

It has all been developed and produced in collaboration with companies from the local area, and you can now experience this food history dish by ordering it at Den Gamle Stald at Det Grønne Museum.

The first serving

The Danish premiere of Eat Your Way Through 15,000 Years of Food History was celebrated at a small intimate reception together with Norddjur's mayor Kasper Bjerregaard and partners in the development of the historical meal.

Norddjurs municipality has been one of the important partners along the way, as they have supported the project and ensured that it could be realized. Therefore, it is not only the dishes that are special, but the service and placemats with stories about the dishes are also reserved for this particular dish.
