Talk:Soused herring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't it the concensus maatjes haring either refers to vessels (maatjes) or shipmates (maatjes) or both? Im not sure, but i read somewhere vessels of herring could be a staple for the shipmates. The first 'maatjesharing" of the season is called 'nieuwe', new, herring. Now why wud we call the rest maiden? Evrything is possible but i hadn't heard it before.
