In the upper midwest/plains states, where a lot of Swedes Norwegians, Danes settled, every salad bar in about every restaurant had pickled herring and pickled beets on it. I love a couple on a salad, but it's not something I'd want to set down and eat a 1/2lb of. Pickled beets are the same thing, besides making your piss look like you've taken a few too many body shots from Mike Tyson, they're delicious on a salad, but not as a main course.
