It's not raw mince, its corned beef and potato (mainly, the extra red colour comes from beetroot that usually gets mixed in too) a bit like corn beef hash but with the extras. Traditional Hamburg food!
How do you feel about rollmop herring?

I love rollmops but don't seem to see them anywhere these days.
I'd much rather keep a jar of rollmops around to snack on than, say, this big bag of Haribo that I am currently shovelling into my gob.

I have never tried those ones, I don't like to stray out of my rollmop comfort zone. I had some in red wine vinegar once and they weren't very nice.

I saw them in Waitrose last week.
A bit of Googling suggests putting them in a pasta sauce might be horrible, but in salads or on toast sounds good. I'll have to get some for a try, and chase the nippers with them

Aldi and Lidl sell them in large jars, you can also get them from the deli counter in most supermarkets. Sainsburys sell them in little tubs but you only get two in a tub for the prize of half a dozen in Aldi / Lidl.

They're best straight out of the jar at room temperature. Good with oily olives if you want to go full on ponce.
(they don't taste half as strong straight out of the fridge)

Lovely food especialy with Labskaus.
This is the plate of food designed to make me boak. I would rather eat cardboard than the above!!
I like shopping in Lidl and Aldi though. It reminds me of being on holiday!!
Never buy one of those radio alarm clocks from Lidl / Aldi, they're set to the Dusseldorf transmitter so always show the wrong time

I don't even know what the pink stuff is ??
Eggs are alright, gherkins are ok, if that's beetroot that's tasty . . . add pickled herring and it all goes wrong!

Love them - no idea what the traditional way to eat them is, but I love them on really soft fresh white bread with butter. Though also acceptable on slightly staling wholemeal.
Never really thought of having them with anything else, though that pickled mashed beetroot thing looks like it might be nice. With plenty of bread & butter.
Actually not the mashed thing if it's got corned beef in it, but it has made me think I might like rollmops with potatoes.

It is truly food of the Gods, great breakfast to have sat in one of the small cafes/bars next to Hamburg harbour after a hard night on the Reeperbahn.

Right, Waitrose had them for £1.29 a jar, so I grabbed one. Firstly, bit of a shock, I though the jar would be packed full of about 30 little things, not two massive fish
Anyway, resisted my Polish colleague's advice to eat a whole one in one mouthful 'cos he couldn't keep a straight face. First fork full was a proper shock of a mouthful! Second mouthful was much better, could taste it once the shock had worn off. Very nice, not sure I'd want to eat too many at once though.
I've just eaten a chicken and tuna salad with spicy tomato dressing and all I can still taste is the rollmop

The RIGHT time!!!!
Anyway; I see you know your Lidl and Aldi: have you tried the fish in cream sauce (Herring in Sahnesosse - plastik box, fridge)? And: Bratherring is really nice (fried first, then pickled - small oval tin) -. For both I would recommend cooking small potatoes in their skin (they are peeled at the table). + unsalted butter. Aaaaand -
- pour a little condensed milk into the Bratherring broth.*salivates*
ETA Colloquially: people who are chubby are called Rollmops in the Germany!

I just eat them straight out the pot as is.
I don't think they would do with mozzarella but that might be just me.
I think if you want to do that then sardines or something would be better.
