Danish breakfast is often delicious, hot rolls served with lots of different toppings or accompaniments to choose from: cheese, sliced meats or sausages, sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, butter (Danish butter is the best), very thin pieces of chocolate that melt into the hot bread, jams and marmalades. The pic below is the breakfast that we had Sunday morning.
Hotdogs are one of the cheapest foods you can get if you’re not eating at home. Danes eat at home most of the time b/c eating out is crazy, crazy expensive here. I had a couple of hotdogs from a little stand that was along the pedestrian street that is one of the main shopping areas of the city. Boy, those were good hotdogs! They were long, skinny dogs that hung off the bun on both ends and topped with sweet, hot mustard; ketchup; French-fried onions (like what tops a green bean casserole); and slices of sweet pickle. YUM.
Something else I’ve had that’s Danish is fiskafrikadeller. It’s a fish patty made with ground fish (a white fish of some kind, like cod?), eggs, and I don’t know what else. It looks like a salmon patty, but is more eggy in texture.
Coffee is made (and served) in a French press, not a drip pot or espresso machine like is more common in the States. Prepackaged sandwiches, like you’d see in a vending machine in the U.S., seem to be for sale in lots of places like on the train or in convenience stores. It seems to me that they’re more widely available here than I’ve seen in the U.S. Beer and wine are available in places you wouldn’t necessarily find in the U.S. either, like the snack cart on the train.

Those are all my observations so far, but we're going out to brunch tomorrow before I board the train to Copenhagen, so maybe I'll have further "research" on this topic to post in a day or so.
