In my opinion yeah, the texture is better, smoother, when they’re freshly brined as opposed to the more crumbly/flaky texture when they’re marinaded in vinegar. But Danish picked herring is also delicious.

Yeah. I’ve had a wide variation of them, some are awful like the ones you had, some are just okay. If they are shelf stable they’re usually never good, but you can get vinegar pickled ones in refrigerated jars or pouches which can sometimes be a bit nice if you’re into that. I would definitely recommend them over tinned ones. But none of them come anywhere close to the real delicacy that’s in that photo.

Even though they’re “pickled” these don’t really keep so you don’t really see them overseas much.

I guess you’re Dutch, you might not know that in English ‘pickled’ doesn’t only refer to things in vinegar, but it can also refer to things put in salt brine for a few days like maatjes.

It would have to be cooked to be in a tin. You can get jarred pickled herring but it’s nowhere near as good as a fresh salted herring.

It’s very soft, you eat it with the skin. The Dutch version of salted herring is the nicest one (compared to Nordic and Baltic versions), it’s quite mild flavoured and has a great raw-fish kind of texture. Ones which are pickled longer are still nice but can get a bit floury sometimes.

Depends on the translation ofc but yeah that’s really what it says

There have been some improvements but their poor stability is still the biggest problem yeah

For many kinds of them, yes, but not literally all

Yeah, I get that, but when it dominates the media like that it’s not surprising that it still has a big effect on how people feel

Well yes, but

Nationality

Idk man, even SPD and greens are going hard on the anti immigrant rhetoric and even linke isn’t saying much against it, I understand it’s not truly the whole population but when it’s most of the political spectrum it really makes people feel unwelcome

Do we? My first guess was English but they could ofc as easily be American

Uh yeah its kinda hard to ignore the entire country fucking hates your guts lol, would make anyone want to leave

They’re quite a lot pointier, I think it would help

It doesn’t even have a tip on lol

I get what you’re saying but you couldn’t have chosen a worse example… Like yeah absolutely fuck Churchill lol, he’s a huge part of the reason why we’re in this mess with Israel now

I think they’re probably Finnish given the “Apple (Suomi)” tab in one of the screenshots, and their incredibly Finnish last name on Mastodon. They don’t read right to left in Finland. Fair enough, Finnish isn’t read right to left.

And the same origin, it’s not a coincidence they all start with P

That is still what we do with criminals

Haha

Police in Europe are less fucked up than in the US but generally still suffer from all the same sorts of problems, they’re still pigs
