A rollmop ( also known as a fork roller in Austria ) is a herring cloth (or herring fillet) into which a filling is rolled and which is speared with a wooden or plastic stick. The filling rolled up in it consists mostly of vegetable additives such as cucumber, onions, spices and does not exceed 20 percent of the rollmops weight.
The herring rag is studded with two small, pointed wooden sticks to avoid premature unrolling during transport. The wooden sticks are used to hold the finger food in place and are removed before consumption. Rollmops are usually not eaten with cutlery , but put into the mouth with one of the open (cucumber) sides first . They are considered a traditional part of the hangover breakfast ; they are often served with Labskaus .
