Herring in cream or white sauce and straight pickled herring is excellent... 👍

My wife and her family LOVE that stuff. She makes it the 1st thing we have to eat on NYE after the ball drops. My sons and I basically throw up in our mouths then chase it will a more bearable think like a shot of whiskey. LOL

When I was a kid, my mother used to send me on my bike with a big basket on front, five blocks away to a little corner grocery store to buy the lunch-meat for our school lunches.

Most of the time it was a pound each of boiled ham or when she was in a good mood, "imported ham" (whatever that was in those days), maybe salami or Lebanon Bologna and Cooper Sharp Cheese or American Cheese.

Sometimes if she wanted to remind me that life was precarious, she'd tell me to get regular bologna which I never liked or wanted to eat as a kid...

If I was going on a school trip, she'd splurge and give me a special treat and I'd buy turkey or "chicken roll" and Swiss Cheese. If the stars were in total alignment, I could even buy a kaiser roll, a small bag of chips and of course Tastykakes.

I'd look forward to that lunch ALL DAY!!! 🙂

As I would stand there waiting for the guy at the meat counter (this was a SMALL store with NO separate deli counter) to slice my cold cuts, I always stared with wonderment at the olive loaf and the pimento loaf and would think...

What the heck is that? Why is it shaped like a loaf of bread with olives or pimentos inside and please dear God, don't let me ever get invited to a friend's house for lunch and have his mother serve me an olive or pimento loaf sandwich or ANY sandwich with Miracle Whip...

Coincidentally, during my trips to that little store I never saw anybody buy any, I never saw any kid in school with an olive or pimento loaf sandwich, I never tasted or was served olive or pimento loaf and still haven't to this day...

But unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about Miracle Whip...

Yuck!

I always enjoyed p and p loaf, and olive loaf, on good bread and slathered with mayo! And wonder bread is definitely NOT good bread. That and miracle whip should have been outlawed decades ago. I'm getting fatter just by continuing to read these discussions.

Did you ever have the German herring appetizer called Rollmops? Basically it is herring stuffed with mustard, pickles and onion, rolled into a cylinder and brined. Yum!!

Speaking of fish, I've been eating canned brisling sardines since I was little kid and often take them with me fishing. Other tinned fish in my regular rotation are kippered snacks, mackerel fillets and sardine fillets which are luscious bigger sardines without the skin.

Never had it but it does sound good.

I've had them with both dill & sweet gherkins and they are really good both ways.

They are available in a jar from a few places and of course at German restaurants if you have one nearby. Russ & Daughters in Brooklyn & NYC sell and deliver them as well...

They also sell fantastic bagels, bialys and schmears and herring.

Turkey you are right. This maybe the best thread posted ever ! And if ur talking sauces Heinz 57 and Mayo is the only way to go. Its great to dip ur fried brook trout in.
