What do I call this holder for Lox or herring? KITCHENALIA

View attachment 70708 View attachment 70707 View attachment 70709 View attachment 70706 View attachment 70711 Any ideas? Trying to establish a value but google doesn't have any similar images. What would you call this?

 

All those vent holes so near to the bottom don't look amenable to holding fishy items.

 

I believe that is

LÖK

- onion.

 

Much better suited to the storage of onions too.

 

Not enough answeres, too many threads!! Lox you dry rub cure in the fridge but wrap in plastic and weigh it down to squeeze out the liquid, herring you pickle in a liquid vinegar solution to dissolve the bones and cure the flesh, then eat it as pickled or add sour cream and onions like I do! - so I say none of the above! I think the Onion holder is the best idea!

 

ONION HOLDER IT IS! yay & thank you!

 

Oy, all this talk of lox and herring. Yum

 

What language is that? I check German, Polish, Norwegian and Lok wasn't onion. Maybe a type of onion...or a different language

Most that I found were enamel or granite ware, open & hung on the wall.

Thanks

 

Swedish. No surprise finding that in this country, or wouldn't be if it came from the upper Midwest or Connecticut. Both areas had a good pile of Swedish immigrants at one point, and Minnesota still has a very strong Scandinavian influence on the culture. IIRC the Norwegians still have a consulate in Minneapolis.

 

thank you! Found in SoCal

 

This is my antique LÖK board....shows an onion.

 

That's great Judy !
There's nothing like saying " I know what that is ! " ....and proving it !!!

 

Searching for or trying to translate words in languages that use non-English letters can lead you astray or into an abyss.

 

Beautiful item Judy! Thanks again everyone
