Swedish Salad

DDV CULINARY

Take a salted herring and cut it in small dice shaped pieces;
add to that as much beef,
potatoes,
red beets,
apples
and four soaked anchovis,
all cut and chopped in the same way.
To this add one tablespoonful of each of the following substances:
dried caper,
finely chopped cucumbers,
chopped hard boiled eggs.
Season the salad with salt, vinegar and olive oil
making it taste a little odd but agreeable.
Now put up and cover the salad with 24 oysters.
