Kippers

[Tilly2]

A relative of mine is in the Isle of Man. She has just texted me to tell me she has posted some Manx kippers to me and I will get them on Tuesday. I texted back and said, they'll have gone 'off' by Tuesday. What do you think?

[askyourgran]

I think they are specially wrapped tilly, and being smoked they keep longer. Enjoy them.

[gingejbee]

Perhaps they're vacuum-packed, longer life ones?

[Tilly2]

I hope they're fillets and I don't have to do anything with them.

[Jomlett]

They are vacuum-packed to ensure they stay fresh. Yummy!

[Tilly2]

Will they have eyes?

[lady-janine]

what a tasty gift. you are so lucky.

I think if they're wrapped and smoked Tilly, you won't have to do much more than eat them and as askyourgran has said they've been treated so keep longer, my sister lives in a very rural district, she married an Italian, his Mum sent over parmesan cheese, the mailman couldn't find her address and for weeks was going around with a stinky van.. the cheese was in good condition and edible when finally delivered and her postman was ever so relieved to have finally found they're cottage

[askyourgran]

Sometimes they do have eyes tilly but usually just eye-holes, I try to avoid looking too close.

[Tilly2]

Ranking high that, ducksie!

[Tilly2]

I don't like food with a face!

[ducksie]

it was a stinker Tilly, I don't like being face to face with my food either :)

[askyourgran]

I don't like them with faces either. My friends at Whitby once caught me some fresh crabs to take home, put me off when my friend told me all their names. 'This is Colin, this is Brian....etc....

[ducksie]

same here, don't like Angus beef on a sunday roast...rather not know their name :)

[Tilly2]

Splutter! I thought cows were all called Daisy!

[gness]

I think some come live in special little tanks, Tilly...☺

[Tilly2]

Who has a crab called Colin, a.y.g?

[ducksie]

I think Daisy is in the milking parlour

[Tilly2]

God. Live kippers? Oh no!

Only for you, Yilly !.

[askyourgran]

My friend named the crabs. Colin the crab was eaten the next day, I had to give Cyril the crab and Norman his mate to my sister.
