Don’t ask for a toast Skagen if you visit the Danish fishing village of Skagen. This toast is a Swedish invention. The original recipe of Skagen-mix, made up by famous chef Tore Wretman, contains only shrimps, mayonnaise and ground whitepepper. Over time the recipe has changed and ingredients have been added by different cold buffet chefs. Nowadays you almost never find Skagen-mix without dill, for example.
