An Evening In The Meat-Packing District, Copenhagen

I have to admit one thing I love most about new cities is the food!

I’m one of those people who just loves to eat (I wish I wasn’t) but truthfully, I’ve just learned to embrace my gluttony now…calories and all!

Needless to say, this is what led me straight to the meat packing district after our afternoon at Nimb (yes, I know I said I went on a walk but it was actually a walk heading from one source of food to the other – technically, it still counts! 🙂 )

We were lucky enough to arrive in the city when the 10-day food festival was in full swing, with almost 100 stalls and events. We decided to have a good stroll, sampling every taster and nibble we could!

As we marched through the festival, we stumbled across a ‘Grandma Cooking School’ where ‘real life’ Grandmas were passing on their cooking knowledge to us young-guns that can’t cook that well! 🙁

The whole ethos was set up to teach, learn and eventually eat some of the tastiest Nordic cuisine from the region…

By this point, I’d come to accept that today was going to be filled with eating!!!

After exploring the cooking festival, we made our way to one my favourite areas of the city… the meat-packing district.

As soon as we arrived, we took a little gander around the old industrial units that make up this special place and it seemed like everyone else in Copenhagen had followed suit too.

After grabbing a beer we headed straight into the bustle of the Meat Packing District. Either out of gullibility or a finely attuned greed we proceeded to jump right into the unit with the longest queue…

…which was one of my favourites cuisines – Mexican!

We grabbed ourselves a whole heap of delicious tapas style Mexican dishes, all freshly prepped in front of us and gorged upon within a moment.

I can’t remember the exact names of each of the dishes but I do remember they were delicious! Little did we know that this would be the start of our night.

As we continued to indulge, our foodie explorations led us to more splendid delicacies, and it was an extraordinary day filled with culinary adventures!
