HERRING SALAD or HERINGSCHMAUS
Were you to visit the German speaking Continent at this time of year, it would
be Lent (Fastenzeit), a period before Easter, when a dish called Heringschmaus will be listed on restaurant menus.
This is a delicious combination of fish and cooked vegetables enjoyed as a cold speciality.
