Kippers are one of those quintessentially English foods that leave us open for mockery. A kipper is a herring, sliced in half before being salted and smoked. It was once a common breakfast food, especially for the lower classes in the cities where fresh fish would be rare and expensive. Kippers can be enjoyed at any time though, and make a great item to throw on a barbecue.

這種腌魚使得我們不去嘲諷英國的食品。它的制作非常簡單，僅僅只是半片腌熏過的鯡魚。這是個普通的早餐食品，特別對于城市中，低下層的老百姓來講，新鮮的魚是十分稀有和昂貴的。而現在任何人都可以在任何時間享用腌魚，特別是在燒烤中最常見。
