       Title: Cold Buttermilk Soup (Kaernemaelkskoldskall)
  Categories: Danish, Soups, Ceideburg 2
       Yield: 1 servings
  
       4 c  Buttermilk
       2    Eggs
       4 tb Sugar
       1 ts Vanilla extract
            Juice of 1 lemon
  
   Grabbed a little Danish cookbook at a sale this weekend.  After going
   through it I've decided that the Danes could give the Japanese a run
   for their money as far as strange and wonderful edibles go.  They
   depend heavily on fish and even have a version of sushi that I'll go
   into in some detail later in the packet.  There is also a hitherto
   unsuspected connection between Danish food and Mexican food.  It's
   really interesting to see how all these dishes from various countries
   inter-link.
   
   I ran across this early on in the Danish book and it raised my
   eyebrows enough to keep me going...
   
   Beat the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla together in the bowl
   the soup is to be served in.  Beat the buttermilk and fold in a
   little at a time.
   
   If you want to make something out of this dish, top the bowl with a
   cup of whipped cream.  Small cakes of oat meal, fried in butter and
   sugar, pressed into moistened eggs cups and turned onto a plate, are
   served with this dish.
   
   It can also be served after the main course with whipped cream,
   meringue and sweetened fruit.
