Not from Denmark or Iceland, but Lewis, where this is a common sight. One of my friends used to take a pail of salt herrring to Edinburgh University every term to see him through his time away from home.

Oddly enough, I saw people buying salt herring in the aforementioned fuel station only this morning. At 6.99 a bucket, I assumed it was to feed to the dog or something.
ReplyDeleteI've lived in Stornoway for 8 years but have so far missed this bit of the Gaelic Xmas celebrations - pray tell this incomer in what circumstances/company/meal one eats salt herring?
