Spice level warning — Æbleskiver is not what I expected

I underestimated Æbleskiver. The bright and pickled description didn't prepare me for the reality. pickled herring brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

the julefrokost Christmas lunch is a major social event with traditional dishes strictly observed. The a traditional Sunday brunch setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. æblemost apple juice cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
