Kippers and Drowning the Shamrock

Well I said I like my kippers and these are Scottish kippered herrings I picked up from my brit supply store. Sometimes it is nice to set a table with your fave breakfast on a fave piece of dinnerware (Woodfield by Steubenville from the 1940's on a fave piece of tatted lace made by a relative) instead of scarfing something down in the kitchen, at the computer or the usual kitchen table. I don't have a recipe for cold smoked herrings but I have a recipe for serving Herrings from my 1810 book
You notice something about the spelling?
I wasn't aware they still used fricative( learned a new word today) in written English in 1810.
Some of the information is dated, but the advice on choosing, preparing and cooking produce, meats is still very good.

I think I will give the larks, cow heel soup, calf's head and few others a miss though.

Have a Happy St. Patricks Day
No Corned Beef and Cabbage for us though (that is an american tradition)
We are celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary and I might just go and drown the shamrock :) woo hoo!!!!!
