ROLL-MOPS Let salt herring sweeten in milk overnight. Cut off the heads, split them through the back, remove the bones. Chop some onions very fine with a pinch of cloves and a pinch of mustard. Place a spoonful of this mixture on the inner side of each half-herring and roll them around half a dill pickle, fastening them with a toothpick used as a skewer. Place them all in a dish and prepare a liquid of one part water to three of vinegar. Boil and pour over the roll-mops. Add a spoonful of oil
