    I love Kippers. My favorite is to serve with butter scrambled eggs and toast. I'll have to try one of your recipes.

    I love kippers! I hadn't thought about their history or about cooking with them. I just eat them up as they are. :)

    I became allergic to fish in my 30's (even though I had cod almost every Friday as a kid). I love your lens and will certainly share it with my fish-eating friends. Congrats on the purple star too.

    I Love fish, Kippers, what ever...

  • Margo_Arrowsmith Nov 21, 2010 @ 5:01 am | delete
    At first I confused them with capers. But you explained that . I am not sure I have ever had them, but I like dried fish

    I only get to eat kippers when we breakfast in certain Hotels and B&Bs. Love them a but unsure about eating fish at breakfast time!

    My Grandmother and I ate a lot of Kippers when I was a young child Growing up in Germany. Now living in the USA in this small town...I can't get a nice smoked Kipper. Your Lens brought back memories for me, Thank you.

    Very good kippers lens matey! :)
  • LadyLovelace Sep 15, 2010 @ 3:41 pm | delete
    Well, now my mum's insistence that they're haddock, not herring makes perfect sense! Great lens.
  • reasonablerobinson Sep 15, 2010 @ 3:49 pm | delete
    Certainly not a red herring!
  • whitemoss Sep 15, 2010 @ 3:56 am | delete
    Mmmm- kippers! We have them on our breakfast menu, and have a secret competition to see who can leave the neatest plate of bones! Our Japanese guests win hands down every time! Blessed by a new Angel and added to my angel lens.

    Kippers and Cumbria - sounds like a good idea!
  • vallain Sep 10, 2010 @ 8:20 am | delete
    I always wondered what these were when I read British novels. Too lazy to look it up until now. Thanks for educating me on kippers.

    Oh blimey! I haven't had a kipper in years. I don't know why that is (they must have them in Tesco's)

    Never knew that bloater is an alternative name for kipper. Thanks for the lens.

    Ah, very interesting. I remember my dad going to the shore (Myrtle Beach, SC area) one year and waited for the boats to come in so he could buy some fresh fish. We bought fish straight off the boat quite often, but with that particular bunch of fish, he and his buddies cleaned them, then they salted them down in a barrel. That's about all of the memory I have for that, but the salted fish that were the result of that day were absolutely delicious! Have not had any sense, but have not forgotten them. ...Need to find me some kippers. Love fish. Ours are usually Southern fried. :)

    You really must try them! Check out Iain Spink Abroath and build your own smoker!

    Interesting lens. I've never heard of Kippers before. 5*
  • reasonablerobinson Sep 15, 2010 @ 3:47 pm | delete
    Give 'em a try! delicious
  • oldbird Jan 12, 2010 @ 3:07 am | delete
    Now it all makes sense... I love kippers, I'm an old man... but then I loved kippers when I was growing up, too! What the heck, they're so worth anyone's love!
    Great lens... all I saw of kippers up to this point in my life was as they were heading to my mouth! Thanks for the depth on this lens!
  • pagego Dec 18, 2009 @ 12:10 pm | delete
    Kippers are very underated. I think their great, and I would like to see more recipes for kippers. Thanks

    I liked the song, When The Boat Comes In, a very nice voice. The second video made me want a Smokie. Very interesting. 5*s
  • reasonablerobinson Sep 15, 2010 @ 3:48 pm | delete
    Great song - yes!
  • kimmanleyort Aug 28, 2009 @ 2:55 pm | delete
    Okay, even though I'm originally from Canada, I've never had kippers. Loved the song and the salad with kippers looked very good! Nice job on this lens.

    Ha ha Carol! I'm certain he ate them separtely. Yep undyed are certainly the best and true to 'kippering'
  • Stazjia Aug 28, 2009 @ 6:13 am | delete
    The trouble is that nowadays it's much harder to get genuine kippers rather than the ones that have artificial colour added, the same with smoked haddock. That man didn't eat the porridge and kippers together I hope. It makes me feel sick just to think of it.
