> [@devilsknew](#): > > Oh man, just had a can of something called Kippered Herring Snacks the other day. They are in a larger tin than sardines and smoked… delicious! Still 2 for a buck at Dollar General. I swear these were almost as good as smoked salmon, no more sardines for me… I’m moving on up to Kipper snacks. Heh, I liked both equally when I was a kid. Sometimes I was in a sardines mood, sometimes a Kipper snacks one. ---

> [@FloatyGimpy](#): > > I don’t know how to eat the Kippered Herring snacks though. You can eat them any way you like, but I flaked off pieces straight from the can and put them on top of flipsides pretzel crackers with a little bit of mustard mixed with horseradish. That, and a nice Vlasic Kosher Garlic Dill Pickle. But the smoked kippers are very delicate and would really do well on their own without my decidedly strong condiments, on a cracker, on toast, they would even go well in a dip or on a bagel with cream cheese.
