It's mashed potatoes, JJ. We'd be safe with that one. I eat eels though but only when it's sushi. Oh, I have been corrected by a visiting Brit in my home...it's rollmop. Tomayto, tomahto...I say, I say...a red herring to me.

Hi, Saundra: I've never had herring and have had only pickled anchovies and love them especially in the way they are prepared in Italy and Spain. Pickled herrings are actually sold at street kiosks in Scandinavian countries very much like we would come across hotdog stands in the States. Eaten on the go as well. I'm probably prepped up to try it in the future.

And, as a most peculiar chap, my Brit friend sings:

"You shall have a fishy
On a little dishy
When the boat comes in."
