Hej Uncle

Can you help?. I am trying to copy a Hot Dog my Grandchildren tasted 
in Europe, I have created a bun similar to the one they had in Copenhagen, 
but I have failed to make a dressing there meet with their approval. All 
I know is that the dressing is made from Mayo or plain Yogurt, Mustard, 
maybe touch of lemon juice, curry powder,  have you got a recipe like 
that in your collection.

Hello Knud,

I searched everywhere for the traditional varmkorv sauce, but I had no luck. Below are a few recipes with the ingredients that you list.

I did a little research on Danish hot dogs as well. I found that they are most often served with Danish remoulade sauce. I could not find a recipe for Danish remoulade sauce, but I do have some remoulade sauce recipes - two below. I read that Danish remoulade sauce is like American tartar sauce, except spicier.

Ebinger's Bakery Chocolate Eggs?

From: "Anne" 
To: phaedrus
Subject: Ebinger's chocolate eggs
Date: Monday, May 05, 2003 9:30 PM

Hi Phaedrus,

A question arose recently regarding an Ebinger's Bakery 
(in Brooklyn, NY) favorite of ours.  We always called it 
the "chocolate egg".  It was egg shaped (of course),  with 
a flat bottom, covered with chocolate, sponge cake in the 
center and had a small blob of mocha in the middle. That 
wasn't its actual name, and that's what I'm searching for! 
What was that yummy treat called?  A chocolate covered 
"something"? Anyone out there that knows this will satisfy 
a lot of nostalgic yearnings.

Thanks for your help.
Anne

Hi Anne,

Well, I for sure don't know and could not find the answer on the Internet, but I'll post it on the site. Maybe someone will know.

Phaed

BTW, the actual name for Ebinger's Eggs was Othello's.
