Hints and tips:
...Lips resemble “a thread of scarlet”, tongues taste of “honey and milk”, breasts are like “two young roes that are twins”. (Perhaps you have to be an Aramaean shepherd to really get that last one.)...
...Herring roes on toast were sprinkled with paprika (apparently its only use). Crab was a treat....
...The best specimens weigh 2-3 kg (those over 4 kg tend to be coarse) and males with soft roes are prized most of all....
