KIPPERS
Kippers, or cured herring, is a British institution. According to Alan Davidson, a food historian and the author of "The Oxford Companion to Food," this dish originated as a way to preserve the herring; but the curing process -- involving salting, drying, and cold smoking -- imparted such a delicious flavor to the fish, the dish has remained a favorite among the English.

Steps:
- Bring enough water to fill baking dish to a boil. Place kippers, fully opened and skin side down, in a shallow dish. Fill dish with boiling water. To keep submerged in boiling water, cover fish with parchment paper and a small cutting board. Place something heavy on top to weigh kippers down. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes. Move fish to a serving plate, skin side down, and top with butter, if desired.
KIPPER'S SANDWICH FOR 1 DICTATED BY -- TASTY DISH--
No, no! Heaven's no not [that] kipper (herring)! This is Tasty Dish's version of Kipper the Dog's and Tiger's picnic sandwich (at least from what we've been able to ascertain) Kipper and Jake go on a picnic and Kipper eats cheese sandwich while Tiger's enjoys his jam sandwich..or something to that effect. Use your child's favorite type of cheese and bread and favorite jam flavor. We tried Tillamook cheddar cheese slice and Dave's Killer Bread 'Good Seed'-both made here in Oregon. Conveniently, my homemade strawberry jam I made back in July was a winning combination with the cheese and bread.
