I can pronounce it but I never learned to write in Dutch. Best I can do is "gescneede". Vendors always know what I mean. I'm certain I could ask for it in English, but my pride insists that I speak to the Dutch in the language of my parents, and of course, they immediately switch to English, not because of my linguistic shortcomings, but because they want to practise their English.

My dad moved to the US when he was little, but never forgot the taste of the Dutch herring! When we go to our grandparents in Holland we always get some raw herring with sliced onion for lunch! Healthy AND tasty!! I love ‘raw herring’. My dad moved to the US when he was little, but never forgot the taste of the Dutch herring!
