(24,324 posts)I have been eating ever since I was about 2 years old when my "very Jewish" Rose 'Nana' Kahn would give it to me when she was baby sitting me.. 'ssshhhhh, don;t tell your mother. As if mom couldn't smell it on my breath.
I still love it
and always VITA !!!!!!!!!!
One of the very few products that has stayed the same. Even Worchestershire Sauce ain't the same as it used to be.

(2,396 posts)I must have not tried it since I think it'd be pretty memorable if I did! They were from Finland and Estonia and died when I was in the primary grades.
I think I would like it as an adult but the key would be to find an authentic version and not from a jar at Safeway.

(9,042 posts)Years ago (now approaching fifty) my older brother and I worked in a meat department of a small locally owned grocery store. In the Fall, on the day when the first herring arrived in its wooden casks, my brother and I would gorge ourselves.
This was not true of lute fisk!

Nothing better.

(2,396 posts)My mom bought it a lot but I can't remember what we called it. We ate that as a snack.
Guess I'm going to find that plus the Vita pickled herring.
ETA:. We had Ry-Krisp and it looks like they stopped making it.

(90,740 posts)- and it depended on how it was prepared and served.
I like it with sour cream and green onions on crispy hashbrowns. I had it on German dark rye when I lived in Germany. It was part of an open-faced sandwich with cabbage that had been slightly blanched & then tossed with sweet and sour oils, placed on the bread, topped with the herring, and a little dollop of creme fraiche made with whipping cream, dill, rosemary, and sour cream. Green onion as a garnish.

(9,580 posts)Another favorite of mine is kipper herrings - With saltine crackers. I'm thinking about ordering some Rollmops online; A pickled herring rolled up with a sour pickle in the middle. My Mother was German, so that probably explains it all. She used to eat her pickled herring with boiled, buttered potatoes.
Damn. Now I'm hungry.
