That's the main menu for Midsummer in Sweden, where it's celebrated more than the national holiday.
In this part of Europe (Scandianvia and Central Europe) it's either Midsummer or St John's (in Poland), or Kupala (in Lithuania).
Any other GSers who celebrate Solstice?
Maybe at Stonehenge?

Er man I did a Stonehenge equinox when I was like a lot younger man and er you know smoked a lot.

I love vodka shots and pickled herring.

I love pickled herring and martinis, but it seems like more of a winter thing to me.

I once had a Swedish girlfriend, and it I mentioned to her that it seemed that Swedes never had to plan a menu. They'd look at the calendar and have the dish that was traditional for that day.

Better than pickled vodka and herring shots I guess.

Pickled herring and vodka sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

I have mentioned here before a cocktail I invented, the skaggerak, like a vodka martini with a tablespoon of the juice from a jar of pickled herring added, and a bit of herring on a toothpick as a garnish. Skål!

It's similar to my Krasnaya Zvezda, same idea but with pickled beet juice replacing the herring juice.
