greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Hello Eveyone,

Well.... its that time of year again, the holidays! I cannot find for the life of me my recipie for 2 ton Bourbon cake. its a very rich cake and very heavy. Does anyone have a recipie for it? also.... if any of you out there eat pickled herring at the holidays could you please let me know where you get it at? I am referring to the homemade Swediah stuff. All the Swedish food stores back home in jamestown, NY have gone out of business and i am having the dt's for some:):) Thanks much.

Bernice

Do a web site search under pickled herring. I came up with 117 hits, including one for authentic foods of the Laplands via mail order. When I was a kid my father loved pickled herring every so often. Then I turned up my nose. Now I would at least try it.

Bernice, look in the Jewish foods section of any larger grocery store, it should be there. Annie in SE OH.

Thanks Ken!

I tried doing a search with dogpile under pickled herring and then swedish speciality foods and couldn't find much other than recipies. Could you please e-mail me the information you found for the mail orders? I would be very grateful:):) and.... if you didn;t live so far away i'd share some with you.

How is the Swedish herring different from what is sold in the fish department at the local supermarket? Here in Louisville I can get that at any major grocery store. Pickled herring (usually in cream sauce) is my traditional New Year's snack. The best part is, nobody else in my family likes it, so it's mine, all mine!

I was sort of wondering that too, Glynnis, but I assumed Bernice didn't have access to it, or that she wanted something different. I like the kind that is pickled in wine sauce -- yum, yum! I can never remember the brand, but when I see it, I know it's the right one.
