While the recipe is a good one, rolmups (sp) is not an accurate name. Rollmops are pickled herring rolled up with onion and pickles. These (Rollmops) can be made either at home or can be store bought in a jar.

Five Star Recipe! Fun to make and very tasty. Maybe next time I will fry the bacon before I roll it up. And then use the bacon fat to saute` the steaks. We enjoyed ours with 'store bought' noodles. I can hardly wait to try the Spaetzle’s. Never had Spaetzle's!
