Silldiplomati – Engelsk version

Without the herring, the Swedes would not have existed.
Herring is a way of socializing. Herring is talking food. Herring brings us humans together.
”Herring diplomacy” is the story of the fish and the people, of meetings, cooking and festivities.
The book tells our history and looks into the future. We travel with historical figures such as Shakespeare and

Vincent van Gogh and Swedish settlers in the USA, exploring adventures with fisher women in Iceland and young South Africans.

”Herring Diplomacy” is a loving and lustful book, and at the center is the Swedes’ main cultural food; herring in all its forms.
