A fancy sponge layer cake with a rich filling of whipped cream, sometimes nuts or berries, sometimes with marzipan. These cakes are often made for feasts and special occasions. They may have a variety of fillings, but the cakes are always moistened with some form of liquid, often a liqueur, and may be decorated with berries or cream.
"Grave salmon." Fillets of salmon are rubbed with blood to accentuate the red colour and then salted, seasoned with dill and pressed under a board and weight in a cold place. The fillets are then washed and dried ready for serving. They were originally called "Grave salmon." because they were cured in underground cellars in which they were "buried".
