NOTES : If you are making your own Bismarck herring, you do need to
start preparation for this dish two days in advance. You could, of
course, cheat and buy either Bismarck or rollmop herrings in jars or
from the delicatessen counter, in which case this dish would take
about 10 minutes to prepare at the most.
