*SNAP* The sound of a herring cherry popping!

Yes, pickled herring is usually served on a smorgasbord as one in maybe four or five dishes, so one would expect small portions. In the Danish/Swedish lunch style one would normally order three or four dishes (often two fishy and two with meat/cold cuts).

Sardines in tins are i assume the same both sides of the Atlantic - but I've never been a fan (well, never tried them since I ws about 10yo!) so I don't know what they'd be like in mustard - sorry!

It's not many days that you can say you've tried something you've wanted to try for months, is it? A lunch well eaten, a day with an outcome! :D

(I have to admire a country where the word for beer is just two letters. That's being efficient in all the right places.)
...causes me to wonder what the word is for their other love, herring. ;)
