Torvehallerne

A ten minute walk from our place is Torvehallerne, an urban, covered marketplace featuring stalls with local produce, gourmet foods, beverages & desserts. Full size pictures for this post, folks. I don’t want you to miss a thing.

Torvehallerne is three structures connected with an open air space in between.
I imagine this space will only become more inviting come Spring.
Do not come here hungry. You will leave broke.
Pecans ARE exotic here. 250grams? $23usd.
Get your Gløgg (mulled wine) here! $7 a glass.
“Look forward to… Here will soon open an exciting specialty.”
Drinks, and specialties & groceries
Smag = Taste
The tree of truffles in the middle of this shot is really impressive in person.
A tray of tulips sprouting from their bulbs. 75 cents each. Brian thinks people may treat these like paperwhites that sit in a dish of stones and water.
Hellebore. They cover my friend, Woody’s front yard in NC.
I have to stop at every kitchen store. I told the clerk, “I want all of it.”
“Surroundings & Friends”
This is the only place I have found ricotta.
I may have to check out the mussels.
All manner of cured meats and cheeses
Want a whole ham?
Love the name.
“Unique” Bet you guessed that one.
Charcuterie, cheese and wine
I am not an olive person but one must appreciate this display.
I am going to go back and check the price on a lobster. This country is surrounded by ocean.
Chicken products want a kiosk, too.
Vinegars in every variety

A traditional Danish lunch is smørrebrød, an open faced sandwich. You can pile anything on as these display cases illustrate. We have been invited to a demonstration on creating these. I will keep you posted.

More smørrebrød
Need your knives sharpened?
This photo is not great, but they will sell you a side of cow.
I love these prepacked packages of edible flowers and greens.
Another one. I bought a set of measuring spoons.
Spice Mecca!
The whole reason I made this particular trek.
My spice cabinet is more respectable now.

It is overwhelming in the beginning but like other excursions here, I overcome and dive in to learn and experience more. Yesterday I bought this really fresh beautiful kale. From now on, I will be buying most of our produce from here. Their website makes it easy for me to check if some stader there has whatever ingredient I cannot find elsewhere.
