Today a package arrived from my son in DK, the package started out in mid December with my son in Aarhus, he shipped with Danpost to Viborg where a friend of his took it to Mexico city, he delivered to a freind of ours in Guernavaca, Mexico. Our freind went on vacations and didn't come back until Jan. 13, and yesterday we could meet and pick up the package, you just cant ship high value items like this with anyone not thrusted, they may eat it, destroy it or loose it or god forbid keep it to themself.

In the package, a Xmas calender light, Licorice, Remoulade, Rostet onions, BM 2400 remote, Beo CDs and 2 figures for the FS

After carefully counting the items, I opened a licorice bag and took out one piece to enjoy the texture, first it feels hard but then after e time in your hand it gets softer, bring it to your nose and you can smell it, in your mouth it slowly melts and give of the taste of salt and sweet a lttle acid at the same time, its back to childhood memories.

I then opened the CD box, put on the Rock album, and started making a Danish open sandwich, salami from our locale butcher, rye bread, Remoulade and roasted onions.

Merry Christmas to you Søren, nice presents you've got there!

Must be nice to have a taste of Denmark, It's really hard to find remolade and salty licorice other places than in Denmark.

Congratulations with the Beomaster control module, I have actually also bought a 2400 with remote. I bought the special 15V battery from an English website 🙂

Except every shop & kiosk in Finland. Not often that particular brand, but there's certainly no shortage 😁

The local vodka with it needs to be bought in the official alcohol stores, though...

Remolade og rundstykker (danish morning wheat bread) is imposible to get outside DK, licorice you can find in some airports WW.

For the Vodka, Finlandia, 1 cup of Finlandia 5 pcs. salty licorice leave covered for 1 week, stir and enjoy in a 6 Cl. glass

That is excellent stuff. We have something similar over here in Holland, although I prefer Salmiakki. Difficult to get in Holland but there is at least one place where I can get the real Finnish Salmiakki made by Fazer. Love it.
