I've got a question. I ate something at a Polish friend's house a while ago but I can't remember the name of it. They were small fish rolled up and marinated in oil and vinegar. I think they were sardines but I am not sure. The marinade was sort of reddish. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

It was śledź...herring in English.
there's many different types, but the fish is always herring, the sauces can be different. Spicy, or creamy or just in plain old fashioned vinegar.

Hated them when I moved here, but now I quite like to eat them.

Thanks guy, yes Rollmopsy was what I looking for. By the way, Do you have "karums" in Poland?

They sound more like koreczki than rollmops. Rollmops are larger, have part of a gherkin inside and a stick to hold them together. Koreczki are sometimes in a red or green marinade.

Feeling hungry just reading the thread!

Rollmops, as their name suggests, is an old English dish (there's even a cooked version). Kolecki are as far as I know, uniquely Polish.

But you are sardonic, of course. :):):)

An old Cornish traditional dish. But popular in every country that borders the North Sea.

An old Cornish traditional dish.

Cornwall isn`t really English.
