I really don’t know anything about Estonian food, so it is great to have found your blog. My husband loves marinated herring salad (the German version of it), I am sure he would like this as well. 🙂

Thank you. Germans has maybe simar taste with Estonians. But for example Swedish taste is toooo different..:) they have ( in my opinion) too sweet marinades. So, you have to try and test 🙂
