Danes will queue at a julemarked stall for a sandwich that's basically an excuse to eat crackling with your hands.

A crusty roll piled high with slices of roast pork, crispy pork crackling, pickled red cabbage, cucumber and a smear of mustard or remoulade — sold hot from stalls at Danish Christmas markets and street food halls.

Why it's made this way: It's built from flæskesteg, the roast pork with crackling that anchors the traditional Danish Christmas dinner, turned into a handheld sandwich for eating on the move.
