Subject: RE: BS: New Year's Herring Salad?
this one from one of those links sounds interesting..
http://www.ifood.tv/recipe/scandinavian_herring_salad

i have been enjoying pickled herring lately..
on a slice of rye bread...they make these small party breads..

with a dab of cream cheese...like Alouette or Rondele...
with herbs and spices and a chunk of pickled herring on top...

it comes in jars or tubs in the reefer section of the meat dept.

(unless you are lucky enough to live in Minneapolis/St.Paul where there is a store that has pickled herring in bulk) or in the Bay Area at the Scandinavian store which recently moved to San Pablo Ave.
(they have salt herring there as well as numerous flavors of the
pickled type...with mustard, sour cream, wine,, etc etc.

2709 San Pablo Ave
(between Derby St & Carleton St)
