red herringsThe Word Detective explains that the curing process turns the fish a red color and lends it a distinctive smell. The fish was tied to a string and dragged through the woods to teach hunting dogs to follow a trail. Later, red herrings may also have been used to confuse the hounds in order to prolong a foxhunt or to test their ability to stay with a scent.
These kinds of confessions always just amaze me. At what point did primitive man (and kids, in this case, I won't quibble that it was, indeed, primitive man) get these ideas?I like my herrings neither red nor read.not a big fan of herrings, whether sandwiched, sighted or pickled
Pickled, they are delicious, in my opinion. There is a northern Swedish speciality, fermented herring (surströmming), which takes quite a strong stomach and lots of practice to enjoy. It smells of...um...long-dead fish. It's actually delicious once you get it into your mouth, but it's certainly nothing for the faint of heart.

Well, PM#1 seems to exist already in the form of said fermented herring. It's actually canned (tinned, for Garzo), but by the time the can is sold, it's as round as a baseball. The unwary (or unsuspecting) opener of said can must be vewwy vewwy careful not to be treated to a high-pressure shower of juice, which smells like rotting corpses and the tenacity of skunk.

I mock these things only because my maternal heritage included a truly penitential Christmas Eve tradition. I know that the ingredients would have been valuable and appreciated by my peasant ancestors under Good King W [digression] not to be confused with any other King W that might spring to mind [/digression]
Let me tell you straight up. I can't abide a fish that lyes!Not herring but at least it's a (reportedly) fish: Lutefisk (of Lake Woebegon (in)fame(y) ). See the quotes at the bottom of the article.

But, this is more like it, I think y'all have been pretty wimpy lately, one little thread from the poo-buts and y'all folded like a ladies fan. Way to go guys!
Now you done gone and piqued [peaked? peeked?] my curiosity, Huny...Huny -who can remove my own stitches without so much as a flinch, but my palet is a little more discriminating.
