[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 727408, member: 1963"] That's a cultural thing. Our big treat on Sunday, when we could afford it, was a "lox box". Cold smoked raw salmon, cream cheese, onions, various types of fresh bagels, etc. Also smoked herring, etc. I'll eat fish, especially preserved fish about anytime you point me at it. In my culture, it started out as poor peoples' food, and now has become a luxury item, same as many of the preserved meats. So, for me, preserved fish is a perfectly reasonable thing to eat for breakfast, a luxury, even as most of it is so expensive nowadays. I love the preserved meats as well, but eat them very rarely as they aren't very good for you, and it is hard to find them properly made (i.e. by a Eastern European Jewish butcher). The versions sold by regular delis are just...wrong in so many ways. [/QUOTE]
