Great. Now it’s 1am and I am craving pickled herring. THANKS, MICHELLE.
(Cutest pickle face ever though.)
YOU ARE WELCOME! And I was totally just eating this at, like, 11:48pm. So…yeah.
Yes, but all the grocery stores are closed. :(
I found some at a convenience store once.
That was so gripping. And I’m not even kidding.
You are dying to try it. In your most secret heart, you are strangely attracted to pickled herring. You know it.
I wasn’t sure from your faces if you were really enjoying it…I love the Pee Wee Hermanesk ‘ that was.. pickley’…. I like my herring with sourcream…
I really need to try it with sour cream. And as long as I have the sour cream out, maybe with some pierogis on the side.
We sell herring in wine sauce, pickled herring, and herring in sour cream at my work. I have always been curious about them, but weren’t sure how they were meant to be eaten. Now I know!
It won’t let me see it! Wah!
I have no idea what is up with that. Unless you’re in Germany.
Why yes, I am, as it happens. um. why?
Because, for some random reason, the music I used is apparently not okay for people in Germany to listen to. (?) Random WMG restrictions via YouTube.
I think Warner is out to make themselves to most hated record label, ever. And they’re doing a really good job of it.
Well, feh to them. *iscranky*
I’m going to try to directly upload it to my site. But it’s being fussy.
Reload and see if it works. I think I fix it :)
Guh, nevermind. Still broken. But only for Germany!
I’m used to it at this point…

Thank you SO MUCH!
wow, I don’t even like fish and it looked appealing. :D
Awesome! I’m glad it worked, and I’m glad it looked good. Pickled herring is a pretty good tuna substitute, I find.
Being Jewish and of a certain age, this is one of my favourite foods! Thanks for reminding me that I need to go out and buy some!!!!
Hellooooo, Gorgeous! But no, thanks.
It was so funny to watch your expressions specially on that first really big bite with the crackers.
Is that a pickled fish? I don’t think this is really common in here, but I guess I’ve ate that fish in a russian restaurant once as a entree.
Was it a little sour? lol
Yes, it’s fish. And YES, it was very sour!
OMG! I lurve pickled herring! Now I must go procure some for snacking pleasure later today! LOL!
Despite the look on my face, I actually really like pickled herring. But it was maybe not the best choice of midnight snack.
I wanted to get you something to drink :) Can you believe I’ve never tried it? Maybe I will…
I love your ‘watch me eat’ videos. It’s such a deliciously (pardon the pun) subversive act.
What a fantastic video! I need to go watch the Cadbury Creme Egg video, STAT.
What’s the song playing? It brought a delightful whimsy to the snacking.
I put the name of the song on the end credit — it’s Lullaby of Birdland, performed by Les Blue Stars.
Oops! Thanks. I’ll try to pay attention next time.
Don’t let your kitty see that video! My cat would be extrememly disapproving of me enjoying delicious puckled herring and not sharing. (:
I was SHOCKED that he didn’t wake up and start begging. He is a total panhandler for food.
This is fucking great. Also it’s been too long since I’ve seen your face and I need to invite myself for a visit soon.
MAYBE I SHOULD INVITE MYSELF FOR A VISIT SOON.
love love LOVE it! You make the cutest faces and the music was exactly the right accompaniment! More “Watch me eat…” videos please!
And as for the pickled fish…..I make a MEAN pickled salmon every fall. We live in the Seattle area and take our boat out salmon fishing, spot shrimping, sturgeon fishing, and crabbing for most of the year. My father in law got me hooked on pickled (and his own smokehouse smoked YUM!) salmon. We first salt cure the fish for at least 2 weeks (usually a month) in buckets layered rock salt-salmon-rock salt-salmon-rock salt etc. Then we rinse them for a few hours and slice them into bite sized pieces. I then make a pickling sauce that includes pickling spice, brown sugar, and vinegar and layer the salmon in a mason jar with thinly sliced onions–salmon-onions-salmon-onions–and pour the sauce over the fish and onions, and twist on the lid. Voila! I’m in pickled salmon heaven for months! Most of my friends and neighbors won’t touch the stuff, but we just LOVE it! It’s perfect with crusty sliced bread or crackers, and makes a great quick lunch or snack full of protein that is truly satisfying and packed with crunch. Salmon season, here we come! :)
This entire comment made me pee myself with jealousy.
Cute! Still can’t believe the kitty didn’t wake up as soon as the jar was opened! My cat knows when a yogurt container is being taken out of the fridge and will come running into the kitchen.
As for “Watch Me Eat” suggestions, how about pain au chocolat? Or tacos.
TACOS! That would be awesome. And probably messy, which would make it fun.
Hah! Roll-mops! That’s what my Dad calls Roll-mops, he’s from Germany. My little sister loves them, but I can’t stand fish. I can only stand tuna, and in small amounts. I don’t know why, I tried force-feeding myself some fish once (because I was paranoid about my iodine levels) and I nearly vommed.
I think I much prefer the Cadbury Creme Egg vid, but you know, all these vids have a certain Nigella Lawson-esque glee of food in them.
I suggest spaghetti and meatballs. Maybe you and your sweetie can get some Lady and the Tramp action going on! :)
I love these videos.
This one feels especially ‘naughty’ because you’re eating out of the jar and I recall that as one of the things I was always cautioned against by parents, nutritionists, etc to help prevent my gluttony.
I love this series! And I second the vote for something messy and fun. There’s a restaurant near me that makes an awesome nut burger with apples, blue cheese and carmelized onions… it squishes all over the place when you try to bite into it, but it’s delicious!
Hmmm…messy. I like this idea.
How about tacos?
I realized after posting this that I may have made that suggestion already. It just popped into my mind in the context of ‘something messy’. :D
love this! So few can be so gorgeous eating pickled herring. I’m going to try some myself, sans camera, but likely with a cat or two in the room as well.
I love these videos! If you want to make more videos, here are my suggestions:
* a mille-feuille
* poutine
* maple taffy
(all stuff from Quebec or the northeast, might be hard for you to get your hands on or make)
* a peach
* a croissant
* a honeycomb
* a lollipop, or cotton candy
* an ice cream cone (with ice cream in it)
Oooooo poutine! And Ontario peaches are fabulous right now. Hmmmm – thanks!
Whenever I get homesick for you I watch this video and it always makes me laugh out loud. :0)
Me and my fellow swedes eat pickled herring for almost every holiday (and sometimes just for lunch), but ours is often covered in a sauce: either sour creamy with herbs or mustardy. And always, always eaten with bolied potatoes.
I’ve heard of the sour cream thing! It sounds amazing. I do like sardines in mustard sauce. I need to try all of these things with potatoes.
