At lunch time today, I had two cravings: bacon; and kippered herring (actually, that’s pretty much all I had in the refrigerator that could go in a sandwich). So I made a bacon and kippered herring sandwich. The kippered herring was the kind that comes in a tin like sardines. I really enjoyed it. It was quite tasty.

Have I invented something new? Have any of you tried this?

Can a mod fix the 7th choice? It should say “but” rather than “bit”.

“Other.” Never had it, but would be willing to try it.

I’d try it, but I wouldn’t make any promises about finishing it.

I’m allergic to fish. The bacon sounds good, though.
