Re: PESO: Swedish Deli

That sounds familiar. The herring in cream sauce I bought could very 
well have benn abba. In any case, it was different than what we usually 
get here. As I said before, more garlic, less vinegar, and perfect 
little fillets. I've had herring in mustard sauce as well. Very good. 
In fact, I've rarely met a herring I didn't like. <g>

Meant to ask .... was the herring you bought made on premises or a 
branded
variety sold in jars?  If branded, do you recall what brand?
The biggest and the most well known Swedish brand would be Abba (yes, 
the same name as of the well known pop group). They've got a great 
variety of  fish and seafood products, and the quality is always good.
I wouldn't be surprised to find them in the US as well.
A favourite of mine is herring in mustard sauce, but most times I will 
also have another jar of a different taste/spicing. (When I've 
finished the herring, I will use the remainder of the mustard sauce 
for a few meals of spaghetti.)

 I've really
got a yen for herring since seeing your post, and I'd like to try 
something
different.  Usually I just buy what's available in stores here, but
sometimes, when desiring something special, I go back to my NYC roots 
and
mail order from a local business there:

Most of the deli meats looked pretty standard. But they sold their
homemade potato sausage and Swedish meatballs. They also had lutfisk,
which, if I remember correctly, is lye-cured, dried fish. My dad used
to make it.  It was actually quite good. There were quite a few 
Swedish
and scandinavian cheese, including Swedish Farmer's Cheese. They also
had numerous other kinds of canned fish, including various kinds of
anchovies, herring, and sardines.
