HERRING SALAT (OSTFRIESEN VERSION)
My mom made this salad every year for New Year's Eve. It's of north German origin. Our German and Scandinavian friends all loved it. Do not substitute ham for the left-over meat, it's too salty or something! My family doesn't like herring, so I use less than what is listed - just enough so I can still call it Herring Salat! Other ingredient amounts can be adjusted to taste. It should be a pretty pink color when done. (My friends thought it was called Herrings-a-lot, because of the way it's pronounced in German!)

HERINGSTOPF MIT SAURER SAHNE (HERRING SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM)
I grew up in North-Rhine Westphalia, in Germany, where this is eaten quite regularly. I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar as it didn't have a home and I thought it'd be nice to actually make this recipe, also known as Herringsstip, as I usually just buy it ready made. I'll update once I've made it, but if you make it before me, please let me know what you think!
