[AT] ATIS Charity Auction, Pickled Herring

[Gene Waugh Elgin, Illinois USA]

What with a few Swedes in the background (my wife's great-grandmother 
came over at age 16 a few years back) we----the extended 
family---usually have a jar of pickled herring at Thanksgiving and 
Christmas.  For myself, not having the required background, that is more 
than often enough!

However, for what it's worth, the jar of Noon Hour Pickled Herring 
(Olsen Fish Company) that we had for Thanksgiving was NOT up to its 
typical standards.  My wife and her mother both commented even on its 
appearance, and then, after sampling, said it was very gristly, etc.  An 
article at  http://www.lutefiskmike.com/article1.cfm  indicates that 
last year's catch was way down...

Now, we all (I, at least) know far more about Pickled Herring than we 
ever wanted to know!!
