[Leica] Vastly OT: Kippered Herring

[dlr at dlridings.se (Daniel Ridings)]

We have more or less the same seafood ingredients, but we lack the 
cultural enrichment and thus our basic spice for seafood is 1) salt, 2) 
white peppar and 3) Dill. Hopefully this will improve. (Though I don't 
want to replace dill, just want some variety).

Coriander is what I miss the most. A corriander/chili chutney goes down 
nicely.
