I second Kavi’s exhortation, the herring is bloody marvellous. I’ve got into them in a big way recently, schmaltz, pickled, chopped – all are fabulous.

As for this salmon bacon, c’mon it’s just marketing. For years I’ve been frying up my smoked salmon for the best hangover cure sandwich – an SLT.

That being said, I reckon the Japanese got there before any of us, afterall what is a good salmon skin roll if not the apotheosis of what we’re discussing?

I am not Jewish and am therefore someone who looks at bacon more as a cholesterol and less (or not at all) as a religious issue, but as a Latvian, I will say this: Return to your forebears’ taste and re-embrace the herring! Re-embrace the herring! Together with cottage cheese and boiled potatoes, it is a classic, fabulous, not-particularly-fattening (unless you go all crazy with sour cream in the cottage cheese and butter on the potatoes) lunch. Enjoy!

I placed and online order and emailed Alan Axler, the owner, to be sure that what I ordered was what Hillel reviewed. He chaned the salmon and my package is on the way. Great service.

Facon!
Pronunciation: Shouted Like BACON, but with an F.

There is this stuff, it the freezer section made by Some vegetarian food company – It’s pretty good, but that is coming from a person who has been Jewish for 38 years, and a vegetarian for 25.
