    Rollmops

    Great, now I'm craving rollmops. We just can't get proper ones with the toothpicks and the onion rings in this part of the US.

    Oh yeah, and also something about storage.

      Make it yourself. Like most peasant food, it's not exactly rocket science, and homemade is always better than bland, homogenized store-bought versions. There are a zillion recipes online. Or ask your grandmother/great aunt.

      If you can't get fresh herring (or other suitable fish) to salt for yourself, you can purchase them online, already salted and ready for the pickle/dressing.

      You mention storage ... The homemade version isn't suitable for storage (five days in the pickle, eat within five days after that), unless you have a pressure canner and know how to use it with fish.

      Beer, because nothing washes down pickled fish better than beer :-)

        Just looked it up - they sell that stuff in jars. That does not look appetizing at all. Good lord.

        Remind me never to leave Texas again.

          When I'm elected, I'll build a wall. And I'm going to make the Texans to pay for it.

            And I'll happily stay inside my wall. Protected from the taste (and smell) of the rollmops.

              I suspect your Great Great Grandmother Brauch would slap you silly for your insular attitude towards food, given the meaning of your surname AND the fact that Rollmops are a delicacy where it came from.
