On the 23 September 2022, the CPH Cooking Class at Copenhagen hosted a show
cooking with the Chef Hassan Chour that aimed to surprise with new flavors
associated to traditional Danish recipes.

The initiative was promoted by InovCluster – Association of the Agro-Industrial Cluster
of the Centre in partnership with ADVID – Vine and Wine Cluster and CoLAB
VINES&WINES under the scope of Taste & Feel Portugal Project. On 23rd September
2022 at the end of the afternoon, 35 guests joined for a show cooking hosted by the
chef and opinion-maker Hassan Chour.

Before the show-cooking, all guests had the opportunity to taste traditional Portuguese
products such as chorizos, cheeses, jams, and snacks, which set the tone for the
beginning of a great evening of networking around delicious food.

From Vinho Verde to Romkugler
During the show-cooking were cooked and given to taste Herrings with Trás-os-Montes
Olive Oil, Portuguese chestnuts and a salad with flowers served with a unique and
valued Portuguese wine: Vinho Verde. This dish was complemented by a traditional
Danish dessert, the Romkugler, which was accompanied by the traditional Portuguese
Ginginha de Óbidos served in a chocolate cup.

The initiative generated a lot of interaction on site and accounted with the presence of
of the Ambassador of Portugal in Denmark, Mr. João Maria Cabral, the board of
Portugisisk Forening i Danmark | Associação Portuguesa na Dinamarca, importers, chefs
and various enthusiasts for food and Portuguese culture.

Great networking event
The participants were delighted with the presented dish and several highlighted the
flavor of the Olive Oil and flavor-laden chestnut puree. The incomparable Ginginha de
Óbidos served in the traditional way also delighted the guests and closed the afternoon
with a golden key.

There was a great interaction on social networks after this event, with several posts
about the Portuguese products demonstrated.

Through this event, it was possible to establish contact with several people interested
in Portuguese culture and products who showed great openness to take the flavors of
Portugal further in Denmark.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
