The Dutch and the Germans love eating herring. And so does Barb. But I don't. It's definitely a matter of taste or Geschmacksache as the Germans say.

Here's two videos of Dutch eating the "new herring" in a Dutch stylee (raw, dipped in onions and eating in a rather graceful :-) style, oodles of fun for 1.50 Euros) and one of the Dutch vendors preparing the herring.
