This herring has been on my Christmas table for some years and it's a refreshing addition to the Nordic festive meal. Commonly eaten as they are, with potatoes, eggs or beetroot salad. The onions are also edible. In itself Glögg is a Nordic mulled wine usually enjoyed in the Christmas season, or Yuletile. I have also written the recipe in Finnish, here: https://www.kotikokki.net/reseptit/nayta/851143/Glögisilli/
