6. Herring Salad.
Ingredients : Four or six smelted herrings
that have been
steeped in cold water to draw off some of the
salt ; a
little cold meat-veal, mutton, or beef ; three
eggs boiled
hard, some boiled potatoes, two apples, some
pickled
cucumbers and small pickled onions, sugar, pepper,
vinegar,
and cream. Take the herring from the bones, mince
it,
and lay it aside. Take the cold meat, as well
as a little
beetroot, potato, apple, and cucumber (all this
together
should not be more than the herring alone, so
you must
judge your quantities accordingly), add it to
the herring.
plus a little cream, sugar, vinegar, and pepper
in a cup
together, mix, and then add them to the meat,
herring
etc. All should be of the consistency of a paste,
which
lay smoothly on a flat dish and cover with minced
beet-
root. The whites and yolks of the eggs mince
separately,
and garnish the dish with them, some in the middle
and
some as a border all round. Outside of this border
is
laid a fringe of small pickled onions. The salad
is served
with a sauce made of cream, vine ar mustard,
and sugar
or with oil, vinegar, and pepper.
