January 15, 2023 By Ellen

A fishy tale I don’t think about kippers very often, but there they were in the fridge with their dead eyes and yellow label. A weekend breakfast: how nice! I remembered smoky sweet flesh and views over harbours. Warm them in a jug of boiling water – why a jug? I wonder – then serve […]
