Blogwatch: Netherlands' National Dish, the Raw Herring Sandwich
They're wonderful and cheap! I ate a bunch on a road trip around Holland last summer.

Out of the Blue: Batavia Arrack Comes Back
I don't know about this specific brand, but in Bali, Indonesia one can buy caipirinhas made with arak instead of cachaça. Very good - Slightly more edgy than the normal version.

Somehow the description "it's incredibly soft and I could probably eat it without teeth." does not make me want to run out and try this.
I love pickled herring though, now that as an adult that I know that the little black peppercorns floating around are not fish eyeballs, as my father told me.

@Boscompb, @Noskos and @ Cassendrea:
I agree; Pickled herring rules. I keep a jar in the fridge for snacking at any time of the day. Deelish!
Also ps. have you tried it with white onion and a cream sauce over steamed potatoes? Also super fantastic-o!

@Noskos -- Those pickles look mighty suspicious! Maybe this was taken at a McDonald's in the Netherlands. Their new McHerring sandwich. :P

My boyfriend ate this while we were in Amsterdam and liked it. I love fish and think I'm a pretty adventurous eater, but I couldn't bring myself to try it.

What the heck are those pickles doing on the sandwich? I'm Dutch and in my part of the country I've never seen them with pickles. You eat them either with or without chopped unions. Preferably without the bread either, just hold them up by the tail and let them slide into your mouth.
@Boscompb: The taste is totally different from pickled herring, my mom loved pickled herring, but hated "salt" herring as we call them.

I'm an American, living in the Netherlands for nearly 10 years now, and I can unequivocally say..."bleh". Sometimes with pickles, more often covered with chopped onions, and rarely with a mayonnaise/dill sauce - I've tried it 3 times here and each time I wanted to cough it up fast. We have a word for it here: "slecht!"
