Curried Herring

4.1

(4)

Herring is an essential part of Scandinavian cuisine and always has a place in the breakfast smorgasbord, along with other kinds of salted and pickled fish, breads, pastries, cheeses, cereals, eggs, and potatoes. (We admit that herring for breakfast may seem a little unusual to some people. But try it on a thick slice of buttered rye—you'll be quickly converted.)
