The girls are pretty and if you are a foreigner.. well let's say in this way: Next time I'll visit the city nightlife, I'll be faking I'm not a Finn.

Guest Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 @poorsucker: Slow down a bit. It's far more enjoyable to see the facts to sink in bit by bit to the audience. Eventually they will learn. That been said, the smoked and salted herring is the only way to enjoy this durian of the northern countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpuumike Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ah, but a herring stall in Den Helder. Almost tempts me to buy tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't even talk about geese, or ladies from Utrecht. We must live in a parallel universe! To keep it on topic, herring from the Dutch outdoor stalls a la Thailand but with natural refrigeration (in other words bloody parky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Tried salted herring once, because somebody told me it was a good hangover cure. Don't wanna repeat the experience. True in Holland they're selling it from outdoor stalls. Eating it, you're supposed to grab the herring by the tail and tilt your head backwards. I almost ended up vomiting upwards.

To keep it on topic, herring from the Dutch outdoor stalls a la Thailand but with natural refrigeration (in other words bloody parky) Sometimes, it's a very small world. The most beautiful Lassie I dated was Dutch and yes ... she studied at Utrecht. I remember the place for a number of reasons ... it was the place where the trains seem to merge. We tired for 10 mins with her cycling and me riding pillion .. gave up on that. The Bakery there ... ... and this is a true story ... the first night, she was so shy (and good looking) she made me sleep in the (carpeted) stairwell. Then, in the morning, seeing my poor shivering soul ... brewed me coffee and then kept me warm in her special way. Maybe the night outside in the stairwell was a test. Went up north to AusFriesland to meet her Dad ... heck of a nice bloke. Plus the only time I've ever seen snow on the beach! Memories ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she was a student there (Turku), but her Mum lived in Haapajärvi ... where I had my first ever White Christmas. Being an Aussie ... I'd never seen snow before ... quite the experience that was. Midday -27 ... Midnight -27 ... same same But that were having a cold snap up at Haapajärvi ... it was -12 when we left ... but the winds turned and it was -43 and her Mum was worried about the pipes freezing! The desire to reminisce. Any Swedes out there ... that's another story ... But I digress ... apologies to the OP. I am the Red Herring ... .
