I love pickled herring! Feature foods spiced matjes herring is a must try for any pickled herring lover

When I was younger and had more than 2 beers a night we would hit a greasy spoon after closing. I went to celebrate my good friends 40th in Halifax. After a night of merriment they break out the PICKLED HERRING. Solaman Grundy or some God awefull thing. The worst hangage I ever had. I can't even walk down the canned fish aisle to this day.

I almost did not make it through this thread with all the puke (I mean talk..no puke) about liver. Thankful for the Kabobs, beef sausage and zucchini, and pizza or I never would have made it.

You have no idea what good pickled herring is. The really good stuff you used to get right out of the barrel just like good dill pickles. Used to be a good Finnish shop on Queen st called Huites.

These days, when you get a chance, go to IKEA's deli, there is a good variety of 5-6 flavours of herring.

IF you are ever in Minnesota or Michigan, Look for a brand called Gafelbiters. The Norwegian herring was a family favourite, but no one sells it here in Ontario now.

The rice.... Soooo good done in the oven with an awesome amount of heat...

 

 

And the plate.... Her pilaf, with the kabob, sliced cucumber, tomatoe and feta. With a fresh yogurt dip...

 

Nirvana on a plate

 

Having a issue with the

second pic photobucket does not want to play nice... Weird. Needless to say it was awesome.

Love Cabbage Rolls, hate the work.

I've done the "Lazy Man" thing and liked them but they're still work.

 

A friend just recently shared a recipe for "Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls" done on the stove in a pot rather than in the oven.

Easy peasy I thought, I now have a pot with approximately 15lbs of said recipe (with some personal touches) on the stove simmering to reduce the liquid content.

 

Fresh Calabrese bread and butter are waiting for the first serving.

One or two more days of eating and the rest will be portioned and frozen for future convenience.

Worked with a guy that would buy meats and sausages from Starsky. He brought a bunch to work and shared with me and it was always fantastic. Gerritt, the rice looks great

started cheating a couple of years back. The cabbage rolls became a casserole in the crock pot, done in layers like a lasagna. The only thing missing is the work to get the cabbage rolled right

How much work? Steam a head of cabbage,remove layers,throw a gob of seasoned meat with rice mixed in it and roll. Not to mention stuffing a few red peppers at the same time. LOL

 

The mrs,s makes the lazy . I hate it. Might as well make a meat loaf and place cabbage leaves over it.LOL

 

 

Does look good though I have to admit. Im a sucker for hearty good soup and fresh bread and butter.

In other words. Deep fried Chinese noodles ( You Know! The ones you get with every take out order) dipped in melted dark chocolate.
