The Danish Concept of Julefrokost
- The food, the booze and the copy room – welcome to the Danish julefrokost.
The Danish tradition of julefrokost translates best into the English word Christmas lunch.
However the Danish julefrokost is rather extreme in terms of activity, purpose and moral hangovers.
Read on and you will be fully updated on the beautiful concept of julefrokost.
Let's start with the food. For some Danes the food constitutes the core value of julefrokost. In this case 10-15 dishes plus desert is not a rare sight. The food varies from different forms of fish over boiled pig heads on to a lovely chocolate pudding.
Of cause all that food needs to be flushed down with – yes! Alcohol. Snaps, beer, vine, spirits, what have you.
The more modern concept of julefrokost is to a continuously greater extent based on alcohol and lots of it. Julefrokost has become the one day where it is anticipated and somewhat accepted to drink till you fall of your chair.
With all that alcohol feelings are bound to be set at large. And they are! When people say julefrokost they think the copy room. What exactly happens in the copy room and why the copy room at all?
The copy room a.k.a. the room of extramarital sex has for years been a preferred room when the feelings between co-workers just can’t be suppressed no more. This room has an entire history of bad behaviour from but-copying, sexual harrasment and now it plays a central role in the danish concept of julefrokost.
As to the question of why the copy room at all, I suggest you try a Danish julefrokost.
About the Author
How many words in the modern English language are Scandinavian in origin?
This is something that has been eating at me since moving to Denmark and learning Danish. Any ideas?
You have noticed two different kinds of words--words that look like English words because they share a common ancestry in Proto-Germanic (words such as "hand", "come", "give", etc.) and words that were actually borrowed into either English or Danish from the other (words such as "ski", "disk", "skirt", "egg", etc.). The number of words that share a common ancestry is quite large since the Germanic languages are closely related to each other, but during the early Middle Ages there were a lot of words that were borrowed into English from Scandinavian languages. I don't have an exact number, but I'll guess about 1-2% of the English vocabulary is Scandinavian in origin.
