Rød pølse (Danish for red sausage) is a type of boiled sausage very common in Denmark. Since hot dog stands are ubiquitous in Denmark some people regard røde pølser as one of the national dishes. Their most noticeable aspect (never the fried ones) is that the skin often contains a traditional red dye (carmine) making it bright red. Røde pølser are commonly served with remoulade mustard or ketchup fried onions and pickled sliced cucumber.
