I hate it when it happens.<BR/><BR/>Here's short version:<BR/>We have this Muikku (herring type of fish) that people love to eat raw, fried, deep fried, boiled and how ever it is possible to prepare. I don't eat anything that lives in water. I get allergic reaction and would most likely to suffocate to death. Nice way to go, herring hanging from the side of my mouth.. :PDobermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224951164747315571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1150835173798181512006-06-20T22:26:00.000+02:002006-06-20T22:26:00.000+02:00Di, you'd like it in Finland..

It's this herring like fish that smells just as horrible as all the other fishes.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do not eat anything living in water. I do get allergic reaction from most of them and don't want to try one's haven't tried. I can tell you that suffocating to death over a sorry ass salted herring is definately not worth the experience.. ;)Dobermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224951164747315571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1150810871062345852006-06-20T15:41:00.000+02:002006-06-20T15:41:00.000+02:00Hi wandering woman,This I really enjoyed.

I didn't do tinned sardines either, this is entirely something else.<BR/><BR/>Cheese on a snax biscuit after you've tried a piece of rollmop ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks chiefbiscuit.

Mmmm - haven't savoured one since! (good to know the origin of the word - I thought it was because they were rolled up and loked a little like the colour of a mop - well there you go!)Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1150803239551899122006-06-20T13:33:00.000+02:002006-06-20T13:33:00.000+02:00Reality check Di - thats just gross :)My dad used ...Reality check Di - thats just gross :)<BR/>My dad used to have tinned sardines on toast in the winter - and the thought of that still makes my stomach churn. I suspect, however, i will enjoy meeting the new brine soaked fish lover, when I next see you - Just cheese on a snax cracker for me thanks - or better yet a timtam :)Mark Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322306919563155381noreply@blogger.com
