Rice porridge,
in Danish
Risengrod "Risengrød"
Rice porridge or as they call it in Denmark Risengrod is traditionally eaten during the month of December, and it is the main ingredient in the Danish, dessert, “Ris a’lamande” which you will find on nearly every Danish Christmas dinner table on Christmas Eve the 24 of December. A big portion of the rice porridge is usually prepared on “lille juleaften” that is the day before Christmas Eve the 23rd of December and a lot of Danes eat rice porridge with butter, cinnamon and a special Christmas beer called “Hvidtøl”. To keep a good relationship with the NISSE it is also a tradition to serve a bowl of risengrød for the NISSE. This is usually served on the loft or if you are living on a farm it is served in the barn.
