Freezing Cold & Still Sickly

As I have mentioned before, everything in Denmark is rather expensive. Prohibitively so, in the case of a cash-strapped study abroad student still hoping to travel. So after class today my friend Liz & I set out on a mission to find a place to eat, with three main goals:

• Relatively inexpensive (like under 40 DKK)
• Warm food
• Place to sit and eat inside

After 2 1/2 hours of roaming the streets in Copenhagen, we hand not found a single place to eat that met all three goals. Some places we found were over 100 DKK for a pizza! Some places were 30 DKK & under, but those were take away stands outside in the freezing cold. Having set out on this mission around 2:30, at 4:30 we ended up in line at a hot dog stand literally a block from school, where we had started.

My conclusion is this: It is IMPOSSIBLE to find a place to eat in Copenhagen that serves warm food inside while still being reasonably priced.

Also, I have decided that all Danish phrase books/dictionaries should contain a separate section dedicated exclusively to the hot dog stand. The menu is SO confusing and I have found that the operators have the worst English skills. Which to be fair, I should have better Danish skills.

But anyways, Liz pointed to a hot dog that was priced at 27 DKK, and what she got was a bacon wrapped hotdog topped with ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, and crunchy fried onions all in a bun for 35 DKK. Now she did get what she wanted, just not at the right price. I went up and pointed to THE SAME EXACT PICTURE (asking for it without raw onions), and what I got was a bacon wrapped hot dog with separate piles of ketchup, mustard, and crunchy fried onions all on the side and a tiny bun on the side. Can someone please explain this to me?  I'm confused.

 Either way, I've been home for almost three hours now and I'm still freezing from our unsuccessful trek through the streets of Copenhagen. And I'm out of cough drops. I also don't have any soup...

BUT I'm optimistic that things will get better once my health gets back to normal! We've got lots of candles in our apartment, so it is very hygge in here. And before our disastrous trek, I found a great bakery/cafe right by DIS to get coffee, bread, & sandwiches from. Its called Lagkagehuset. =]
