Well, it is the lowest lake on a map and water does flow downwards. [g]

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Herring Kugel
 Categories: Scandinavia, Casseroles, Jewish, Eggs, Herring
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      6 lg Sized potatoes
      2 lg Yellow onions
      2    Whole matjes herring filets
      2 tb Butter or margarine
      1 c  Coffee cream
 
  Herring: (may need to be soaked in water to remove unpleasant
  saltiness depending on how you buy -- 1 hour)
  
  Preheat oven to 350.
  
  Peel potatoes, cut into julienne (I use the French fry disc on my
  processor for this) Place potatoes cold water to cover (this
  removes the starch so that the potatoes don't turn into glue when
  you cook them!)
  
  Peel onion and slice thinly, cut herring in bite size pieces
  
  Alternate potatoes, onion rings and herring, the top layer should
  be potatoes. Pour over cream, top with fine bread crumbs, and top
  with butter (I use a cheese cutter to get long thin slices).
  
  Bake about 50 minutes or so. If you like it pretty salty, you may
  add some of the herring juices. Taste first!
  
  Since this lady mentions Lithuania, this might be fairly similar.
  This is a classic Swedish/Scandinavia dish, which certainly could
  have been adapted in other contiguous areas. This is a actually a
  VERY tasty dish, tastes best at midnight (Swedes would add a shot
  of aquavit or a beer to do with it.)
