more eastern europe cullinary delights
I think i was in slovakia, quite pissed on stupidly cheap cocktails. There were some delicacies being handed around in the bar by some delightful waitress. While i was busy staring at her massive norks she offered me some odd looking fish on a stick. I asked what they were called and it sounded like she said rollocks. Now, because I'm a immature nob who thinks the word rollocks is funny i decided to to chomp in without a care in the world. Fuck me sideways with a shovel! Fucking awful is not even close. I spend the rest of the evening trying to drink the strongest alcohol known to man to get rid of the awful cold fish, vinegary, salty slime flavour from my mouth. I was terribly hung over the next morning and in between the vomiting and shitting i was talking to the hostel owner who filled me in on the details of what i had eaten. They were called rollmops and are a acquired taste! Fucking disgusting

Rollmops? You mean Rollmop Herring?
You can get them by the tub in any supermarket in the uk. Possibly not the finest choice after a few yards of cocktail though...

Rollmops aren't a secret food they only have abroad, you know. I've been eating them for decades.

Yum
I have a jar of them in my fridge. It's tea time now, so now I know what to have.

The trick is to eat them before the booze.
The oil seals your stomach mucosa and slows down the alcohol ingestion. It is said to cure hangover, too. They are not supposed to be slimy, though.

They are lovely vinegary goodness but
I've had them in a restaurant before where they tasted overpoweringly of vinegar and were pretty much inedible. I'd advise you to have another go!

Rollmöpse
Tony says: 'They're Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!'

Also, part of this nutricious breakfast.

They also come battered, fried and then pickled. Think little turds in a jar. Not quite as good.

Interestingly the plural of Mops, Möpse, is also German slang for boobies, hooters, baps, norks, titties, chesticles, mammaries et al.

Draw your own conclusions. I don't have any.
