BMO stands for ‘Bolle Med Ost’ (bun with cheese), and it’s exactly as simple as the name suggests. The special thing about it lies in the details: for some, it’s all about the perfect crispy and airy bun; for others, it’s a generous layer of butter or just the right slice of cheese.
Although the combination is simple, it’s well worth trying if you’d like to experience a small but distinctive part of Danish food culture.
