Kippers

A couple of people have asked me what are kippers and I realized the only thing I knew about them was that my mother used to stink up the entire house cooking some foul fish for my father's supper. Maybe this is the reason I dislike eating most fish. Anyway, I googled it and this is what Wikipedia had to say about kippers:

A kipper is a whole herring that has been split from tail to head, gutted, salted, and cold smoked.

In the UK and the eastern seaboard of North America they are often eaten grilled for breakfast. In the UK kippers, along with other preserved fish such as the bloater, were also once commonly enjoyed as a high tea or supper treat; most popularly with inland and urban working-class populations before World War II.




And now we know. (but I still ain't gonna eat 'em)

Kippers are ACE! But definately not for cooking inside! Great heated through in a BBQ though. If you ever visit Scotland go to Arbroath where you cam buy a Smokie!

When I was a kid my mother sometimes made kippers to go with Sunday morning eggs. They did stink up the house, I remember that, but I always ate them so they couldn't have been too bad tasting. No one who eats sushi can legitimately criticize kippers!!
