LUNCH!
They say that only old men love stinky fish.
I must be getting old because I can't get enough fermented sardines these days.

@sinbach the most stinky fish in the world must be the Swedish surströmming (sour herring)!! Have you heard of it or tasted? I have tasted it once... not in my taste, but I didn't spit it out or throw up. 😂 We were in an apartment and had to open it on the balcony because of the stink.

@tanjaostman i'm not a big fan of surströmming, BUT i do love all the different ways that swedes eat pickled herring. i always buy a jar of it when i am at the store. the mustard might be my fave way.
It might be in my genes. I just learned this week that my great great grandfather in germany, married a swedish german girl with the last name Bäck before immigrating to the US. This is funny because Bach and Bäck are basically the same name - they both mean brook in English. so, perhaps it is not so odd that i enjoy fermented fish. Maybe as I get older I will work my way up to surströmming.

@sinbach I also like pickled herring (it's very Finnishas well) - it's another thing than surströmming even if it's the same fish. But I If you are interested in eating healthy, then I can inform you that it's really healthy! Such a funny story about the Swedish girl Bäck! You are a little bit Swede then, even in your blood. 😀 I studied German 5 years in school but have never spoken it, so I have forgotten most of it, but I knew that Bach equals Bäck. Swedish and German have many very similar words. But the grammar is more complicated than the English grammar.
