I haven't made up a crystal clear theory about food in Denmark. People tell me that 20 years ago, food was less than meh, then the Nordic Cuisine took over in Copenhagen and now we're talking. The Scandinavian open sandwich, aka Smørrebrød, needs a good rye bread (★recipe), some cutting skills, and a little spreading technique. Then it's an extraordinary exercise of fantasy, perfect for springtime meals (★recipes). Just remember: you eat them with a fork and a knife.

Jailhouse Wok
Sean Combs's current detention includes the detail that the prison serves lasagna on the second Friday of each month.
Specifically, inmates are offered lasagna or "pasta fazool" (★recipe) for vegetarians, accompanied by spinach and salad. This small detail provides a glimpse into the mundane realities of incarceration, a stark contrast to the opulent lifestyle Combs once enjoyed. Consider that he now uses packets of mackerel known as “macks,” available for $1 from the detention center commissary as a form of currency.
This reminded me of the often inadequate food reported in many prisons. News stories frequently cite examples like "rotting Bologna sandwiches" and the desperate acts of inmates eating "toothpaste and toilet paper" due to hunger.
In TV and movies, prison meals often highlight the harsh realities of incarceration. While some ingenuity in creating makeshift meals is shown, the overall theme is one of deprivation. This contrasts with imagined culinary escapes, like in Paddington's (video), where he makes a tricky orange marmalade (★recipe).
Just as Paddington dreamed of comforting food, the reality of prison meals, far from a decent lasagna, underscores the basic human need for proper nourishment, a stark difference from the often-grim reality behind bars.

The fashion industry seemed to be inching towards a new era of inclusivity. Then came a wave of weight-loss drugs and the demonization of ‘wokeness’.
