...I, too. As for the German fries - we call them "Bratkartoffeln", and it's what you would do with leftover boiled potatoes - slice them and "fry" them in a pan the next day with onions and bacon bits (for those who like it good and solid), and dress all with herbs - rosemary, thyme, parsley or chives (or other).

Laurie, could you handle pickled herring? That's one of the most traditional dishes here (at the Baltic Sea) served with Bratkartoffeln (and green beans):

The German fries are what we call fried potatoes or hash browns and are usually a breakfast food. Of course, I'm one of those gourmands who prefers to have breakfast food for dinner. Now you've made me hungry.

However, the thought of pickled herring just removed my hunger!
