Think I need to call a maid service, this place is beyond my abilities.
Mike, don't hit me, but I'm thinking I'm going to pick up some herring on my next trip to Ikea. I was thinking I would get the sour cream, the dill, and maybe the mustard one, or maybe the garlic one. Put it on a piece of rye bread. Is that the way for beginners to try it first time?
Im curious if anyone has heard a thing from the woman that owns this thing. It seems she has moved on to cooler people and left us in the dust.
Go Emma!!! Congrats Peter! Does she know she has an online fan club?
This is a very good way to enjoy herring! Mayonnaise and eggs go very well with herring.Rye bread, some mayo, some sliced eggs, and then some herring.. Mmm!
As of today I am an uncle. I feel old and need a beer.
You (once again) are the cat's meow, Czar Bulgakov - a la the Rocky & Bullwinkle cool version of Boris Badenov -I see that the lemur is enjoying a bowl of fleas while watching tennis in the lounge. People are afraid of discovering what is on the fan, or, more importantly, what is going on up there.
After taking a drink from my glass of Stolichnaya, I send another congratulatory beer to Mav. Why is ILC stealing one of the Bistro refrigerators? Did Dedans leave with the Danish soccer hooligans?
Oh Senti, you silly man.....the surprise is not food related. If it works out, believe me, you'll know. It should happen soon
well now you got me interested in this surprise.
I am trying to figure out where a pineapple fits in here.does it involve whip cream, naked women, and a pineapple?
I am trying to figure out where a pineapple fits in here.
Bistro peeps.....something very exciting may happen soon......sssshhhhhh...it's a secret. ILC cannot tell just yet, when it happens, you'll know!!!!!!!!!!
It involves a person. A female. Sometimes
she's naked and I'm sure that she's into whipped cream and pineapple
It's wonderful how you "take a tad longer than expected" oh most nonpareil tease-to-please Goddess of goddesses.No honest. Something WAS supposed to happen. Still probably will, just taking a tad longer than expected.
Drinks for everyone to make up for my tease......
Sorry....don't be upset with me
See Mav.....some people think taking longer is ok
Most Beloved, race you to the ceiling fan.......
Oh dearest Senti, ILC Would never do that to the wobderful peeps at the Bistro. I should never have teased, but that "I know something they don't know" got the better part of me. Shame on me.
***hangs head in shame***
Of course, pickled herring is best taken from a bistro along with dill pickles and dark rye. It is then best enjoyed in a cab with Stolichnaya on the way home.
In Russia, herring on rye bread is often a very basic dish, served as an appetizer with many other dishes. There are many good Russian recipes for salads with pickled herring.
I would recommend the basic Danish smørrebrød, which is a buttered dark rye single piece of bread, pickled herrings (not too much), red onions, and fresh dill. Other ingredients, like capers, are often added. In Denmark, this is usually served with with other kinds of smørrebrød.
On its own, it might be a little dull, depending on the quality and freshness of the pickled herring. Using a little imagination is a good thing here.
Another option is to go the Midsommar route. I like to have small potatoes with sour cream and chives, and a Russian-style beetroot salad (not a traditional part of the meal, of course) with pickled herring.
I notice the last Danish football hooligan leave the Bistro. She was using the lemur as a pillow. He is pretty angry.
Do check the first page to know the guidelines/intent of this thread. Basically a friendly thread, no fights, and iirc, no spoilers. Lots of food and drink on the houseBeing the quoted is the only post i have read in this thread (legendary thread by post count) it is clear to me if i start from the beginning i will not leave my 'puter (yes ok, it's a mac) for days. And my family is not tolerant of such behavior.
May I simply jump in as a stranger? Are you tolerant of this behavior? I like you folks based solely on that one post. No ****. And not in a 'flattery will get you...' sort of thing.
Thanks in advance.
