Basically this means bread with butter, "smør" meaning "butter" and "brød" meaning "bread" in Danish. So, the smørrebrød is a piece of thin and dark rye bread, buttered and garnished with an array of ingredients such as salami, herring, cheese, pickles, thin slices of cucumber and onions. The result is a collection of delicious open sandwiches that should be eaten with a knife and fork and in a particular order - the seafood ones coming before all the others, and the cheese ones coming last.
