Frimærkehæfte med
10 x 6.00 kr. / 60 kr.

Smørrebrød betragtes som noget typisk danks - gerne ledsaget af skummende øl i glasset og en enkelt snaps eller to. Det højt belagte smørrebrød, som blev udviklet i slutningen af 1800-tallet, er et af Danmarks få bidrag til den internationale madkultur.

Post Danmark har udgivet fire frimærker med smørrebrød. Frimærkerne i dette hæfte viser et stykke med æg of rejer samt et stykke med rullepølse og sky. På de øvrige to frimærker ses et stykke med kartofler og et stykke med roastbeef.

Literally it means,
 

Sandwiches regarded as typical Danks - preferably accompanied by foaming beer in the glass and a single snaps or two. The high-piled sandwiches, which were developed in the late 1800's, is one of Denmark's few contributions to international cuisine.

 

Post Denmark has released four stamps featuring sandwiches. The stamps in this booklet shows a piece of shrimp with eggs and a piece of sausage and gravy. In the other stamp features a piece with potatoes and a piece of roast beef.
