Please don't bring kippers up or I'll be going to the grocery store
again. They disappear around here like brownies do in a normal house.

We've still got friggin Christmas cookies left but NO kippers!!!

I might have said that, and have done it many times. They're great
after a night of drinking. I like them on crackers with cream cheese.
Shempdon claimed sardines were great with butter on dark rye. I tried
that with kippers and it was good, but I prefer cream cheese. I will
be trying kippers with poached eggs as CC mentioned. Maybe on toasted
bread.

We get them canned, frozen and and occasionally I have bought "fresh"
[1]. The canned may be opened and scarfed on the spot, but we often
poach the frozen ones in milk. We usually have the eggs on toasted
bread... But if you really wanna do the carb thing, boil up some spuds
(or used leftover boiled spuds) and pan-fry those in some oil (we use
sunflower oil) to go with it.... also yummy...

[1] "fresh" = not frozen.

pan-fried or something, in an englishman's breakfast.

They have kippers on the breakfast buffet on cruise ships, so I thought,
what the heck, I will try them. They tasted pretty good.

Cruise lines offer a variety of items to please guests who come from
other countries; rice, miso soup, broiled tomatoes, beans, kippers,
English bacon, English sausages, black pudding, fried bread, etc.
