Herring is awesome

[posharow]

@yernickle Russians eat it with boiled potatos or sliced onion, with a shot of votka. Yum.

Americans will never like it because one has to start eating them at an early age.

@posharow I am American and I love it!

[catecc]

@posharow I was about to disagree with you, because I am American and love them. HOWEVER, I think I did start eating pickled herring at an early age! LOL.
