These are rollmops -- brined and pickled herring fillets, wrapped around a sweet pickle.
Henry introduced me to them when he was here. Says they're big in Hamburg. (The Wikipedia says they originated in Poland).
The first bite is a bit intimidating, but once you've had one, they are quickly addictive. They have a wonderful chew with a sweet and sour pickled flavor to them -- sort of a cross between sushi and sauerbraten.
Anybody know where I can pick them up in Milwaukee?
Looks a little like cheese rolled in a pair of socks I lost in the river.
ReplyDeleteYes, but just a bit tastier.
