I was picturing herrings made out of chocolate and wrapped in foil,  
like chocolate eggs. (And besides, there are candies called Gummi  
Worms and Swedish Fish, and I recall seeing small chocolate cubes  
sold under the name of "Ice Cubes" in my misspent youth, so chocolate  
herrings would not be too far out of the ordinary.) (Swedish Fish are  
not to be confused with lutefisk, the piece of cod which passeth  
human understanding.) Since we know chocolate herrings are not pure,  
the chocolate is probably the cheap kind, diluted with wax. As a  
spinoff, no doubt somebody sells tapioca "chocolate herring caviar".

This doesn't explain any connection with ceramic begonias (or ceramic  
and begonias as individual items, either). What do ceramic begonias  
have to do with the price of chocolate herrings in Denmark?
