Being a scandinavian I generally eat pickeled herring with boiled 
potaoes, sour cream and some fresh chives (chopped). A "typical" summer 
lunch. Around Xmas you are supposed to go berzerk and make "fifty-eleven" 
kinds (I am rather partial to the mustard versions myself). Traditional 
item on a smorgasbord.

No idea how/if it was used in period.

How many matematicians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
1. None. It's left to the reader as an exercise.
