Does that mean no smoked kipper snacks either? They're herring too. I'll be very sad if I can't get those anymore. I'll have to go clean off the store shelves this weekend if I'm not too late and stockpile some. I love putting them on crackers as a snack, or even a meal. :frown:
Now, that would be very sad. Kipper snacks are a big comfort food. We couldn't afford to have them too often, but they were a favorite treat when I was a kid. Kipper snacks with a bit of mustard or horseradish on a piece of biscuit or yeast bread... heaven.

Don't weat it, Kippers are in demand in the UK, and are still very popular in the USA. Tinned sardines alas... people simply do not appreciate anymore.
