I guess that makes me a European. I bloody love the pickled herrings. On work trips to Scandinavia there were often 3, 4 or even more varieties available on the breakfast buffets. Yum.

I wasn't madly keen on pickled herring when I moved to Sweden but I have to say I love it now. As you say there dozens of varieties. To be honest there's an eye watering number of ways they prepare herring, never mind just pickled.
 
I used to work at The Steer Inn (I know, I know, I shouldn't boast of my illustrious career for fear of jealousy and retribution) and for some reason they sold rollmops and there were surprisingly popular. A couple of those for a starter followed by a Pearly Fillet (fillet steak and oysters) and I was a happy man. Well, as happy as I could be working in a cauldron and losing every Saturday night for five years.

I worked as a steward on the Norland for a fair few years and could never get over how much the Dutch and Germans loved pickled herring. I think they were called rollmops or something, as soon as the buggers came onboard they went straight for them. I’ve watched some of the most beautiful woman I’ve seen stuff their faces with the things. I once tried one because I’ve always said don’t make comments unless you’ve tried it. Well I really wished I’d took no notice of that advice as they were just the most horrible thing I’ve ever had in my mouth ( honest your honour). Disgusting taste that lingers for ****ing hours in your mouth and throat, 15 pints of larger would still not take the taste away. A pair of sweaty socks sat at the back of your draw for two weeks would taste better IMO. Weird ****ers those Europeans !!!!
