  Well, there goes my appetite, this Dutch guy hates herring. Can’t stand the smell, taste or texture. 🤢

    I’m not sure if I’ve had herring but I feel the same about pickles.

    As a Dutch child, we shouldn’t assume too much about their starting point.

  You’d only get second-hand smoking if you spent every day in your life in the tourist hellhole of central Amsterdam. Try going to Germany instead, everything and everyone reeks of cigarettes and they even have vending machines for them in plain sight in amusement parks.

    I swear, smokers in Europe have atrocious social graces with no concept of personal space. Even at the busiest and most cramped cafes, they will light up at the table with you or standing next to a doorway, and then act like you’re the problem if you’re annoyed or upset about second hand smoke. Beer gardens and outdoor seating almost universally include a carcinogenic haze, it just ruins the meal/drink imo to be tasting the air between bites

    At least in America the social stigma is strong enough where they scurry off to their ~opium den~ smoking area and get their nicotine hit with their brethren. Go in peace friend, you do you over there to y’all’s lungs

      Sweet summer child, you should have seen Europe at the turn of the century.

      I’ve seen doctors pulling out a cigarette and start smoking in the middle of a ward. Any place you’d go at night - a cafe, a bar, a pub, a disco - and you’d nearly vomit at how your clothes smelled the next day.

      Everything and everyone smelled like tobacco.

      Nowadays? It’s paradise I tell you.

    While I am regularly annoyed at smokers in restaurants, at bus stops/train stations and in pedestrian zones, you haven’t felt “everything” until you go to e.g. Turkey (as much as I love the country)

    can confirm, it’s gotten better but in my childhood there was literally just a cig vending machine outside my block, like 30-40m away from a playground

      The US used to have those vending machines in bars and some restaurants too, up until the 90s. The smoking section of restaurants was mostly an invisible line that cut the room in half, so you could have a smoking table literally right next to a non-smoking one.

  What are the little white bits, chopped onions?

  source

  • CalipherJones@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes, raw white onion.

    source
• Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  And it’s damn tasty. herring and raw onions are amazing

  • disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’d try it. Is the skin meant to be eaten after pickling, or does it remove easily?

    source

    • porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s very soft, you eat it with the skin. The Dutch version of salted herring is the nicest one (compared to Nordic and Baltic versions), it’s quite mild flavoured and has a great raw-fish kind of texture, ones which are pickled longer are still nice but can get a bit floury sometimes.

      No need to remove the skin. It’ll just melt in your mouth.

      The herring is not pickled, it’s raw and fresh.

    Yeah, I don’t understand why there is a freaking slide of pickle.

    source
  • wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I take it this is not available in a tin and must be purchased at some street cart vendor?

    source

    • porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It would have to be cooked to be in a tin. You can get jarred pickled herring but it’s nowhere near as good as a fresh salted herring.

      You usually get it at a fish cart or at a supermarket.

  Is that fish even fucking cooked?

  source

  • lime@feddit.nu ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    why would it be cooked? it’s pickled!

  This meme is timed really well with me being on holiday in the Netherlands. But it’s also true

  source
• ieGod@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  One of my favorite things about visiting the Netherlands are the herring stalls :D

  I prefer mine in a bun, but all forms are delicious.

  Put 200 on Herring, this matchup isn’t even close.

• TheBat@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Why is that fish raw😶

  source

  • pulsewidth@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Its pickled, not raw. Scandinavians have been pickling fish for a very long time and it’s worked out OK so far.

    source

    • TheBat@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      But no baking, frying, or cooking of any kind?
