The most interesting thing in this recipe is the herring. Nowadays we don't mix meat and fish in one dish, but it was common in the 19th century. Most likely, this method was an imitation of French and Italian history, where beef and veal are cooked with anchovies. And if you remember the classic forshmak, it is boiled and mashed veal with salted fish - anchovies or herring. Now this tradition is almost lost
