Rolmops with potatoes and apple
Rolmops are a traditional herring appetizer in European countries.
Literally translated, the name of this dish means "curled up dog". In the 19th century in Europe there was a fashion for pug dogs. Apparently, herring rolled up in a roll remotely reminded someone of a dog's face.
