Used to be a biker is like someone saying they used to be a US Marine.

Then again your only friend is whichever hand you USED TO USE to
masturbate. LOL-LOL

Love them! Can't get real kippers around here. The ones in tins are
nasty and not worth the trouble.

I love the canned, and probably would become orgasmic if I ever got the real
thing.

You're suggesting fish oil as a lubricant for masturbation. Shame on
you.

You haven't tasted kippers until you taste the real thing. Forget the
canned.

I doubt you'll find very many Americans who have ever eaten kippers.
(All of you RFC regulars who have eaten kippers may now chime
in.)

Wikipedia suggests they're typically eaten at breakfast.
Americans usually eat pork (bacon or sausage) and eggs for
their breakfast protein, although a lot of people eat cold
cereal, hot cereal, smoothies, or even breakfast burritos.
Still, the traditional American breakfast is eggs with bacon
or sausage.

My wife served kippers one Christmas morning. Unfortunately, that was
the Christmas that I came down with a stomach flu. Nothing stayed down
for me that day, and it is probably unfair, but it turned me against
kippers. It didn't help that my dog would not eat my leftovers, and she
used to eat cat crap.

I have had gravlox at a breakfast buffet in Germany. It was good.

Can you buy real kippers in USA?

I don't think there is a typical American breakfast... and most
Americans do not eat bacon and eggs for breakfast at home, that's a
holdover from years ago and the stereotype promoted by the fast
food/chain eateries. But I think at home very few people nowadays
prepare any cooked dishs for breakfast except when company is presnt,
least not in the US.

I haven't eaten eggs for breakfast since childhood and I very rarely
eat bacon... last I ate bacon has to be more than ten years ago. When
I eat eggs it's for lunch or dinner, usually an omelet with
vegetables... very rarely contains meat and then it's ham... my
favorite egg dish is a potato, onion, pepper fritatta, with whatever
applicable LOs. I'll estimate that I consume six dozen eggs a year,
and that's for all usages. My breakfast always consists of two big
mugs of black coffee. Then a couple hours later a brunch of fresh
fruit, cheese, and bread. In winter I like to add steel cut oatmeal.
I just can't imagine first thing out of bed frying bacon and eggs and
then the mere thought of having to force that down nauseating. I just
finished brunch; three very good nectarines, a half a small loaf of
delicious semolina bread baked in Brooklyn, and a few slices off a
wedge of Jarlsburg.

This one for tomorrow:

I have someone who brings me wonderful care packages from:

Their web site is new and in progress... the Catering section is up,
sorta.

Gotta have 'em in Texas. Everyone's a millionaire.

Several stores sell vac-packed and loose kippers and smoked trout (better).
We have every kind of smoked fish. Pretty easy to make at home, too.

My Dad made sardine sandwiches as treats when we did something really
good so I developed a taste for sardines. The opposite of how
your friend reacted. Sometimes it was canned kippered herring instead
of canned sardines.

Some of the cruise lines serve kippers for breakfast, so I tried them.
It was pretty good, but I would rather have the lox.

Not locally, sadly. Not much in the way of smoked fish around here other
than salmon and the occasional trout. Perhaps on the East Coast, there
are real kippers. More likely to be the demand.

Maybe not. They are so very different, you might not like them at all.

==
Many moons ago when I was a meat manager, I stocked smoked kippers for
some of my customers but never made any money on them as I threw out
more than I sold. I tried them once and my darling wife said that once
was enough and they were to never stink up her kitchen again. I
readily agreed and peace prevailed for a while,

I haven't had any for a long time. I like them but they don't like me
