  Gretel Dunsing's Herring Salad

          Those of you who remember Gretel, will recall that, on her extensive teaching tours, she liked to make Herring Salad for her hosts.

           Although Gretel grew up in Berlin, her early childhood was spent in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Pommerania-anterior. Mecklenburg-Posterior is now Polish). Those German states that border the oceans -both the North-sea and the Baltic, have a great fondness for fish dishes. Herring Salad can be quite labor intensive and complicated. Here then is Gretel's recipe for the short version:
