No, unfortunately not. That would imply that we are presenting you and your food together.

I don't really understand, if in English is "with", it should be "med" in Danish. Because in this case, we are presenting you and your food together, as I read it in "English".

Haha :) well I can see why it would make sense to consider using "med" because it otherwise DOES mean "with" but not in this sentence. If I were learning Danish I would be confused too! :)

Honestly, I don't understand. Isn't this structure odd? It sounds like I am presenting you to your food, as in 'Food, meet Gregory. He will be the one devouring you.' Is it just me or is there something off...

ahaha!
I came to the comments cause it wasn't making much sense to me either, but I guess these odd structures are part of what make other languages so interesting.
maybe danish "for" here could be more like more archaic english "before", as in when you say: I stand before you.
Does that make sense? It's helping me so I hope it does lol

Could it be understood as: "We present for you your food"?
