Lisa: Bart, I’m really sorry I’ve been ignoring you lately. I got carried away with being popular. But, now that I’m unpopular again, I want you to know I’m here for you.
Bart: You can start making it up to me right now.  Flanders is leaving the house.  I want you to sneak in there and bring me back some evidence.  And something sweet for later.
Lisa: Bart, I’m here for you, but I’m not going to break into somebody’s house.
Bart: All right, you’re right, you’re right, let’s, let’s just forget about that. Here: let me read to you from my play. Ahem. Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? Is it St.Swithin’s Day already? Tis, replied Aunt Helga
Lisa: I’m going, I’m going!

Is it Saint Swithun’s Day already? Tis replied Aunt Eats Like A Duck! Yes, apparently July 15 is the Feast of Saint Swithun and so of course I had to have Kippers for Breakfast. Also of note, Kippers are apparently making a comeback as a breakfast food, so as usual I am on the cutting edge of all the food trends. I just know that Nuts and Gum is going to take off at any moment!

Here’s a fun fact: if it rains on Saint Swithun’s Day then it will supposedly rain for the next 40 days after that. I don’t really have anything to add, I just like to imagine that this has happened at some point on earth and there are some hardcore Saint Swithun’s believers out there.

Ingredients

• Kippers

Directions

Hopefully you can pull the lid off your own tin of kippers. Consume alone or with crackers, bread or eggs depending on what you’re in the mood for with your breakfast.

Kippers are a smoked fish and so these kippers tasted like smoked fish. They are perfectly serviceable as a breakfast item, but if I had a choice I would choose the Skobo’s Smiley Face Breakfast Special every time.

Cromulence: 4 Milpool’s out of 10
