> [@rocking\_chair](#): > > i am told you don’t just eat it out of the can. there must be a bit of dissection and accoutrements. I would guess so. They described scales, bones, and fins still being present. I assume you’re not supposed to eat all that. ---

It’s like calling prison wine a delicacy. It’s something you’d make and consume to survive or out of some other kind of desperation. Why you’d choose to do so when there are other options… ---

Something tells me the presenter is more than a bit desensitized to the food In the comments on that Try video I posted, a couple of people said that when it’s consumed properly - with flatbread, chopped onions, and sour cream - it’s not bad. A few years ago in Iceland, I tried pickled herring at a breakfast buffet, and found it surprisingly palatable. Not anything I’d deliberately seek out, but I did go back for more. It had a mild, pleasant flavor, and was not disgusting at all. ---

I’m familiar with kosher pickled herring - I love it in wine sauce, and can’t stomach it at all in sour cream sauce. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > I love it in wine sauce, and can’t stomach it at all in sour cream sauce. I haven’t had it in wine sauce. I haven’t had it in sour cream since the '90s. I always just get regular pickled herring. I wish I had some now. ---

I used to think anchovies were gross because I grew up hearing that anchovies were gross. Then I learned that one reason why Caesar dressing is so good is because of anchovy paste, and now I have a very good opinion on anchovies. I’d try a pickled herring.
