I had a kipper over Christmas and enjoyed it enormously. I'd forgotten how nice they could be.
Yes, I'm a great admirer of the oily fish, which isn't a euphemism but should be. In particular, of course, the raw fat herring.

I adore a kipper but the subsequent repititions get me down after a while.

A kipper is like smoked salmon or a prawn cocktail; the only possible accompaniment is thinly sliced, buttered brown bread. Cut into little triangles.
