Estonian beetroot, herring and potato salad bound in sour cream and finely chopped to a uniform dice, eaten at Christmas, Easter and most every Estonian Sunday dinner table.
Rosolje is the Estonian version of the Russian and Polish 'beetroot salad with herring' (vinegret), absorbed during the Russian Empire centuries of rule and re-locked into Estonian culture during the 19th century. It uses cooked beetroot, potato, gherkin, hard-boiled egg and a pickled herring fillet, all chopped to a similar small dice and bound in sour cream. Many Old Town traditional rooms still serve it year-round; at home it appears at every major holiday.
