Talk:Rugbrød

Notability

A separate article on Danish rye bread - seriously? They also eat tons of rye bread in other countries, especially Germany. Danish rye bread is not very different from German rye bread except possibly in being of poorer quality. I think the few sentences in this article which is special for the Danish variant (i.e., the reference to smørrebrød) could be safely moved to the main article on rye bread, and this one happily deleted. 87.51.7.136 (talk) 08:41, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

The only German rye bread that is comparable in character with traditional Danish rye bread is the Holsteiner Schwarzbrot, which unsurprisingly shares many characteristics of the Danish bread (sour dough, grainy, black). The comparisons with pumpernickel is not quite off either, but it is cleary a distinct type of bread from Danish rye bread. As to your claim that Danish rye bread should be inferior in quality to the German variant, well, that is your personal opinion, but it is certainly not shared by the countless number of blogwriters, chefs and other people around the world who shares their recipes on "Danish rye bread". A Google search on "Danish rye bread", "German rye bread" and "Swedish rye bread" quickly reveals that they are three very different traditions of rye bread baking which seems mainly only to have the usage of rye flour in common and not much else. --Saddhiyama (talk) 13:58, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I agree that Pumpernickel is somewhat similar to rugbrød in its very dense texture (indeed it tends to be even denser than rugbrød). However, it can't be compared to rugbrød, because Pumpernickel is baked in a steam-filled oven, rather than the normal baking process used for rugbrød. Also, but this is purely based on personal experience, Pumpernickel seems to be somewhat sweeter than rugbrød.

Merger

No merge - This is a very distinct version of Rye Bread, and while appropiate on the Rye Bread page, it also deserves a page of its own. 129.142.143.67 (talk) 16:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Seconded. I've done some informal reseacrh into rye bread recipes of Europe and North America, and Danish rye bread is definitely distinctive and has more in common with pumpernickel than other types of rye bread. EaCalendula (talk) 13:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

This is patently false. It has absolutely nothing to do with the rye bread sold in the UK and North America, but it is very common in Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe. Denmark has absolutely no claim to dark, malted rye breads. The creator of this article seems to be going around Wikipedia, creating articles about the contents of his refrigerator, as if "Rugbrød" was anything but "rye bread" in Danish.

Rugbrod is not an English word and does not belong as a heading in en.wikipedia. Refering to Onelook.com gets one reference - this article. Translation dictionaries equate Danish "rugbrot" with English "rye bread".75.45.114.180 (talk) 18:17, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I, Henrikb4, rated the article as a B and as Low importance. Why? because the article is good, has the needed information to be useful, but is not a really deep going article, and it don't have any citations. For the importance: The article is about danish cuisine, and is part of one of the national dishes, but is still minor. But if you have something good for this article, please add it. --Henrikb4 15:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

This article needs to be merged into the rye bread one or removed.

This article needs to be merged into the rye bread one or removed. Otherwise we should start writing articles for every single sort of bread in other countries. Probably adds up to a couple hundreds for Germany alone.

Even though it might be a bit distinct in the end of the day this is just another rye bread variation of many. So merge or remove please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.17.140.107 (talk) 00:30, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
