Talk:Soused herring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isn't it the concensus maatjes haring either refers to vessels (maatjes) or shipmates (maatjes) or both? Im not sure, but i read somewhere vessels of herring could be a staple for the shipmates. The first 'maatjesharing" of the season is called 'nieuwe', new, herring. Now why wud we call the rest maiden? Evrything is possible but i hadn't heard it before.
[edit] Maiden Herring
The following is a free translation from www.freetranslation.com. Since I am not Dutch I can't polish it to make it clearer, but according to this it seems that new herring, and maiden or virgin herring mean the same thing.
Hollandse new From Wikipedia
Hollandse New or maatjesharing is the first herring of the season that arranged is for consumption.
History
In 1380 has invented Willem Beukelszoon of "beer creek" the herring craps. The haringkaker got with a special knife the bowels from the belly hollow of the herring, on the alvleesklier after. The alvleesklier wanted to do ripen enzymes from that the herring. This digestions organ is on that moment large and contain particular natural enzymes that see to for the converting of food into fat. These enzymes play also a role at the ripening of gekaakte herrings and be fixed for the taste. The maturations trial is regulated with the salting of the herring; how more salts, how longer the herring can ripen. Previously the vishandelaar had to put it without freezer, more salt became through which it much gekaakt. The salted herrings became catch kept in a wooden. Round the many salt and therefore the tranigheid of the herring to veil, was eaten the fish with a shredded onion. Some vishandelaars treated to neutralize the herrings also yet with milk the salt.
Otherwise there is to be recognized through the Netherlands a different taste preference. This has a historical background. Long time the herring came namely via Vlaardingen in. The transportation to the hinterland took longer in possession and the herring must in that case then also longer salted become. In the coast region was the herring thus less salt then in the hinterland. In Brabant still a preference consists eaten for the something saltier, small Dutch New, in one to pieces. Citizens of Amsterdam eat cut gladly the larger herring, in stiff, often with a stiff 'hard'. In Rotterdam, there is prevent a preference for the small herring, at a to pieces.
Vlaggetjesdag See subject Vlaggetjesdag for the main article over this.
The catch of the first herring of the season becomes according to old tradition still four people with the Vlaggetjesdag in Scheveningen and Vlaardingen. The captain of the ship, that during the herring race the herring as first at country brings, has the before personal a crate at the queen to bring. The first dishes is sold by auction is served via an American auction and the yield at a good target. The tradition of the introduction of the 'Dutch new' on the market is to be compared with the annual introduction of the Beaujolais first in France.
Requirements (Eisen)
Wills herring Demand be named must satisfy "Dutch new" then he on particular requirements:
The vetpercentage must to slightest 16% (legal demand), but no longer then 25 to 26% are (culinary demand); the herring must be caught between half May and end of June, for that is he too thin, after that too fat; he must be gekaakt; he must salted and ripened be: The salting is of interest for the preserving; during the salting, the herring at taste wins, also because the alvleesklier has not been removed; round possible parasites, with name the herring worm, to kill must the herring at least 24 hour frozen have been been; he must on your right manner gefileerd be: The bone must be removed on the tail after.

Hollandse new also well maatjesharing is named, a verbastering of virgins herring (virgin, because the young fish yet no hom or calf contain).
The real lover eats its herring without onions, and culinary specialist Johannes of Dam even an apert adversary is differ, opposite already the these. The onion had been meant taste by origin round the tranige, to camouflage, that arises by the use of extra many salt. These days one uses less salt, because the freezing sufficient protection gives.
Green herring (Groene haring)
