Traditional would be Grandpa's good pickled herring for New Year's - but alas, the recipe was never written down, and Dad hasn't been able to duplicate it. It was yummy, though.

Having had haggis, honest - it's not a big deal folks!

Good strong coffee, pickled herring and rye krisp - Swedish New Year for ya, folks!

[Randi]

Karen, perhaps I can help with a recipe. Mind you, there are several of them. Every family makes them a little different, but I'm sure you can adjust to your taste. You know, you're supposed to drink Snaps with it!

What color did the ones you mean have? Grey, red, yellow?

I must admit, the only ones I like are the ones in a curry sauce. I had a peek at this site, there are a few pictures of the various ones. If this link doesn't work, then type in Sild in the Search field.

Richard,

I'm sure the finnan haddie has a sister, but I don't think you'd be interested in the sister of a smoked fish! (OTOH, maybe you would, but not me!)

It was in a clear liquid, no color, the fish itself was white with grey/silver skin, there were onions involved ... I think ...

I cannot eat it any more, as I am allergic to fish, but Lady's Human could ... dunno if he even remember's Grandpa's pickled herring, as that Grandpa died when I was 9, so he was only 4 years old ...

[Lady's Human]

Are you kidding, Karen?

That stuff was like candy! (GOOOD stuff!)

[TamanduaGirl]

I'll try some haggis since I don't remember ever trying any before.

Oh yeah a colorful sunset, that's better

My dad's like that with recipes need him to write some down.

KK, I'll try some haggis!

I've had crow on occasion, So what's a little intestinal fortitude?

LH,
Does Finnan Haddie have a sister?

CS, the things you will learn here...it's not all a waste of time!

You want to try haggis ???? Hahahaha....Richard, you don't know what you are letting yourself in for. That stuff us super foul...believe me when I tell you that....it's really bad...LOL.

[Twisterdog]

Oooooohhhhhhh .... I'll SO pass on the haggis. That's SO bad. Don't mean to have all the relatives in the old country rolling in their graves, but I'm never going to eat haggis.

Ok .... giving this a shot here ....

How about a white Russian? That's about as much alcohol as this old girl can handle anymore. I think my drinking days were over about a decade ago.

Good strong coffee, pickled herring and rye krisp - Swedish New Year for ya, folks!

Now that wasn't hard, was it?

[wombat2u2004]

Here ya go............

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish. Although there are many recipes, it is normally made with the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately an hour. It somewhat resembles stuffed intestines.

Hows yer appetites now ????...LOL

My dad's parents made a lot of haggis. And my mom's parents made head cheese. There was no escape.

Thanks for the drink.

*hiccup*

No more, though. I'm more of a chai tea person, actually.

Oooooh no. I never actually ate it! Just the sight and smell of it was way more than I could handle.

Here's the definition of "head cheese" ...

"Head cheese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Head cheese (AmE) or brawn (BrE) is in fact not a cheese, but rather a terrine of meat from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow) that would not otherwise be considered appealing. It may also include meat from the feet and heart. It is usually eaten cold or at room temperature as a luncheon meat.

Historically the cleaned (all organs removed) head was simmered to produce a gelatin (which would form from the bone marrow) containing any incidental meat which came off the head. The more modern method involves adding gelatin to meat, which is then cooked in a mold."

Reminds me of a line from Crocodile Dundee : "Goanna? You can eat it, but it tastes like ****!"
