Yum! Kipper!

If you ever saw a British movie where they talked about eating Kipper, here is the explanation:

Unfortunately these fish do not have a place on the full English platter but are certainly worthy of a mention or two none the less, or even more.
(first you catch them...in the sea...on a rod)
Then after they have suffocated on deck they can be smoked, not with cigarettes but by hanging them upsides down in a smokery (a place where they burn lots of hickory dickory dock) until they are sort of cooked, but not really just too hot to be raw: like a fine young cannibal do.
Then you can buy them from fishmongers, cook them in milkery waters or eat them.
Try with a poached egg on top, or even betterer than that. Unless you hate fish.


And if that doesn't sound tasty, try their black pudding.

Of course, here in the Philippines, we frequently eat dried fish or fried bangos and rice for breakfast
