The pickles and cold cuts sound delicious, I also read about pickled herring being a great complement as well.

Affirmative, warm vodka is a blasphemy.
On the subject of herring, the pickled herring you can by domestically is not the same as we make in Russia. Domestic pickled herring is marinated in vinegar and the taste of vinegar overpowers everything. Russian herring is more of a fermented salted fish. Don't quote me on the recipe but it tastes dramatically different. It goes especially well if you add chopped onion and some vegetable oil to it.
My favorite chase is beef tongue. It is very easy to cook, it tastes delicious, and it goes very well with vodka.
