Last night our guest prepared a very simple Swedish appetizer for us.
There was a platter of pickled herring, hard cheese (aged cheddar),
radishes and sour cream with chopped chives. It was eaten with beer and
schnapps. It was delicious. I have said here before that the combination
of pickled herring with sour cream and beer is one of the great flavour
combinations. I had not had it for a while and it reinforced my
feelings that I should have it more often. The schnapps was a bonus.

Pickled herring is really good... with or without the sour cream.

Nothing to say here but, "YUM!"

G.

Sounds like them yumppin yimmies eat pretty good. Think Kroger had some jars of pickled herring in sour cream in the mark down section one time. It was pretty nasty. The beer and schnaps sounds good. I used to make my own Peppermint Schnapps. Much better and not near as sickening sweet as the store bought variety. Makes a nice shooter to get the beer and pickled herring flavor out of the mouth parts. Gives fresh breath etc.
