As cold as Oslo!

For lunch today we had Herrings, soured cream and rye toast.
The main ingredient being pickled herrings. Mr Slater says these are sold by the kilo in the markets of  Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. After a long walk this morning we can certainly say it is as cold here as there I should imagine.







Not the ideal lunch to warm us through but the taste of  the sweet pickled fish, the sourness of the cream and the stickiness of the rye bread was good.  A light refreshing meal  - perhaps better in the summer served outside, will give it a try.
I used sour cream but could have used labne which apparently is a type of yogurt strained through a bag or cloth to give it a distinctive sour taste.  Always learning with Mr Slater.
