    Norwegians eat fish for breakfast.. My favorite is macrel in tomato sauce.. We put that on a open faced sandwich.. It's brilliant.. It doesn't smell bad but it doesn't look very good.. Actually when I learned to eat it as a kid in the 80s it was commonly known as a planecrash 😂

    I live in the Scottish Highlands and I am fortunate enough to have access to fresh fish straight from the fishermen's boats at our local pier. I would have to say the kippers Mike had bear no resemblance to the real thing. I realise it's easy for me to say this, but whatever was in that packet was not a kipper as I know it! The real thing is completely different!

    You are clearly not familiar with kippers! If you were worried about the smell permeating the house you should used the option to 'boil in the bag'. The little bones do you no harm. By no means the best of kippers but ideal for those that don't want to tackle a 'real' one.

      Gnocchis are so easy to make: just double the amount of patatos if you have a meal with patatos. On the next day use the patato leftover, mush them, add eggs and flour, salt, ( if you want herbs, a bit tomato sauce, or spinach) to it, knead it to a dough, make a roll, cut 1 cm pieces, take a fork, roll over it and press slightly some rills in it, done. Cook them in water or fry them or freeze them. 🤤

      It doesn't take long the dough is knead after 5 min. It's a fast, cheap and tasty patato leftover recipe.

    Grew up. Kippers are delicious for breakfast. You are such a drama queen sometimes

    Are you supposed to eat the bones? NO YOU FOOL 😬

      Yes, the very fine bones which are left in kippers and things like sardines are to be eaten; they do no harm at all.
