For the curious, 'smørrebrød' is a Danish kind of deli offering consisting of rye bread with different kinds of toppings. (Bohr of course referring to the Danish physicist Niels Bohr)

It's very tasty.

The usual difference between that and a sandwich is that it is open. While rugbrød (note: rye bread is not exactly the same as rugbrød, which you can only truly obtain in Denmark and Northern Germany.) is the most common, I have seen »smørrebrød« with white bread.

My local Rewe here in Hesse has it, I'd say. https://www.google.de/search?q=ja!+Roggenvollkornbrot&tb...

Since Ja! is the discount brand, doesn't it mean that they sell lots of it? If so, I'd imagine they have this product all over Germany.

And looks like you can get it in Sweden too: http://www.tjow.dk/Hjemad/slides/t505.html

Neither of those are as rough as rugbrød you get in Denmark. Trust me, I've tried both of them. I've even shopped in Rewe. But they always seem a bit like brown white bread to me.

What is your reference bread? The only difference between Shulstad and "Ja!", that I notice, is that Shulstad has the 1:1 aspect ratio. There's no rye in the bread I linked, so I don't understand how it can be brown white bread to you.

as a Dane I love the name :-)

We are bringing a tribute to Bohr as well: http://bohr.launchrock.com Most awesome scientist ever. He had a big impact on how science works nowadays (see Solvay conference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference)
