[…] I Danmark betraktas röd pölse som fattigmansmat och är inget märkvärdigt. Här i Sverige däremot anses det som något exklusivt danskt. Av korvutbudet här i vagnen så står röd pölse för 80 procent av försäljningen!

On Saturday, he opens the Danish grill bar for the season on Marketenterivägen and entices with, among other things, pork roast sandwich, fish fillet with french fries and of course red sausage.
 - The red sausage is actually more popular here in Sweden than in Denmark!
 […] In Denmark, red sausage is considered poor man's food and is nothing remarkable. Here in Sweden, on the other hand, it is considered something exclusively Danish. Of the sausage selection here in the cart, red sausage accounts for 80 percent of sales!
