The beef-and-pork patty brings to mind chorizo while the sauce hits sweet, sour, and savory notes, again paprika-forward, while the shoestring potatoes are crisp and salty and fun to bite into.
Some alchemy happens as the sauce simmers, the ketchup and soy sauce mingling with the beef juices and the cooked onions. Combined with crisp buttered bread and melted American cheese? It’s magical.
I’ve eaten three Flæskesteg sandwiches this week and I’ll probably have another for lunch tomorrow. It is as good a fast food sandwich as I think you’re likely to find.
The bread soft and sweet; the sweetness of the jam, the cream cheese, the mildly savory turkey breast… I found myself crying out for a pickle, some mustard, some kind of contrast in flavor or texture.
