Subject: recipe challenge for you
You probably have had a request for this but I cannot find it on your site or anywhere.
Danish rode polser with a slash through the o's for pronounciation. Or Danish Hot Dog
or Polser or Dansk Polser.. They have been copied and the recipe is close but not quite
there.. In Solvang, California or actually just outside of it, there is a grocery store
called the German Market, at least it used to be called that 20 something years ago,
They had an item in the back deli called a German frankfurter and it tasted very close
to the "Dansk Polser" but not quite there. I think the missing recipe was vinegar which
helped give it that "snap" when you bit into it, plus it was missing the red color.
I have searched high and low with no luck finding the recipe. I cannot believe that
someone out there has not figured a way to make them or an ex employee has not given
the recipe as 27,000 pound are eaten yearly in Denmark and I'm sure the meat companies
have had turnovers with their employees.. The recipe is supposedly closly guarded but
my belief is that someone out there knows how to make them and I would like the recipe..
I am Danish and I long for the taste of a good Dansk Rode Polser... If you can find the
recipe on how to make them, you would be wise to make a batch and taste some of them
if you haven't already been to Copenhagn and stopped by a cart there and had some..
You will be in for a treat you'll never forget.. Eat them with some true Danish ketchup
which is sweeter than American and some good hot German mustard. Guldens mustard will do...
There is a place in Williams Bay, Wisconsin called the Skagenhus that suposedly sells
them at a cart outside the restaurant but I haven't tried them as yet, waiting for it
to warm up, then I'll take a drive to try them.. Please help me find this awesome recipe...
Thanks, Jerry
Hi Jerry,
Wish I could help you, but I had no success at all locating a recipe to make
Danish hot dogs/ Dansk Pølser at home. Here are some links that might interest you:

The last time I was in Solvang I asked around about some of the meat products.
I found that a commonly used Danish Sausage was called "Medisterpolse" and the
brand of hot dogs used at many places was "Saags German Franks" I hope the helps.
My Grandmother was from Denmark. I went through my mother's recipes and found her
Medisterpolse recipe. It has got to be over 60 years old. (The red coloring portion
was removed years ago)

Medisterpolse
Danish Sausage
Ingredients:
5 pounds lean pork shoulder, ground 3 times and refrigerated until very cold
1 large onion, grated
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 cup stock or chicken broth
Instructions:
Add the seasonings to the meat and mix well. Add the stock and mix well again.
Press into about 5 feet of hog casing and tie at regular intervals to make links.
Note: From what I have read, the red dye used in the original rode polser was
banned by the other Scandinavian countries and now is no longer used.
I looked around the web and found these medisterpolse recipe sites, and also the
recipe below. However, medisterpolse, or "Danish Sausages", seem to be dinner sausages.
I didn't see evidence that they are what is used in Danish hot dogs?

Danish Sausage
I also found these sites for buying German franks:
Saags
Nielsen's Market
As I understood it, the original request was for a recipe for making the actual
frankfurters used in Danish hot dogs. If German franks are what is used in Denmark,
then I am still seeking a sausage-making recipe for making German franks.
Medisterpølse recipe
4 pounds lean pork
1 pound side pork
1 large onion grated
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup stock
Grind meat 3 to 5 times. Add seasoning and mix well adding stock little at a time.
Fill into small (lamb, pork, or small beef) casings, not too firmly.
Place sausage in frying an and cover with boiling water, bring to a boil.
Remove sausage from broth. Save broth for gravy. Melt butter and margarine in pan.
Brown sausages on both sides.
For gravy: Mix flour in fat in the pan and add the broth. Serve with plain boiled
or Danish browned potatoes. Or the sausages may be salted 24 hours, then boiled
until tender. Serve with peas, boiled cabbage, scrambled eggs, or creamed vegetables.

Subject: Recipe for Rich's Rum Cake
I have been looking for years for the Rich's Department Store Rum Cake that they used
to sell in their bakery. Their Coconut Cake has been published, but I have looked on
line, and also asked the Food Goddess for that recipe, but have never been able to get it.
Could you get it for me?
Thank You,
Carol
