A kipper is a herring, salted & cold smoked. Very popular in the UK and Scandinavia. (I'm Swedish by birth and any kind of herring, especially matjes herring if anyone has heard of it, is one of my favorites, especially during the Xmas holidays.) Has anyone heard of the a "birds nest" appetizer? (Scandinavian)
