That is an interesting memory.Pickled herring. As a youngster we would go down to the Jersey Shore for the day. On the way back we had to use a rickety wooden bridge to cross the bay to the mainland. At the approach to the bridge there would always be a guy with a big beach umbrella and a portable stand selling, not hotdogs or sandwich's, not ice cream or water ice, but big chunks of pickled herring skewered on popsicle sticks. I could savor that herring all the way to the Delaware River. Whether it is the fond memories or the fond taste eating pickled herring makes me very happy.
Yes, I suppose it is as it goes back to the late 1940's. I have a tendency to recall things that go back to when I was pretty young, a good thing for a history teacher. One of my earliest memories is VJ day when I was only two years old but that was a memorable day for everyone with the whole neighborhood going nuts in the streets and my father home in the daylight. He had been working 12 hour shifts, seven days a week (every other Sunday he had off) at the ball bearing factory and just seeing him home two days in a row was a memorable happening. I have read or been told that pickled herring on a stick was still in recent times a favorite snack in the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Perhaps some posters from Europe might know about this.That is an interesting memory.
I don't know about the stick, but pickled herring is one of my comfort foods. I come from a Scandinavian family so it's commonly eaten. I prefer to buy the herring in wine and then mix in fresh sour cream and sliced onion, rather than the jarred herring in sour cream.Yes, I suppose it is as it goes back to the late 1940's.

Texas barbecue - brisket, pulled pork, beef ribs.I must be hungry, because I was just looking up new restaurants in the area where I live. Then the question came to me, so . . . What's your favorite food or kind of food?
You forgot the smoked German sausage.Texas barbecue - brisket, pulled pork, beef ribs.
