0 a herring (= type of fish) that has been preserved by being treated with salt and then with smoke --
The trade in kippers has rather got into difficulties lately because the way in which the kipper has been kippered has not been very satisfactory.
The kipper must get its proper colour from being properly cured.
We could consider that, but if consumers have a preference for undyed kippers they should express it by patronising those shops which supply undyed kippers.
The supply of, and demand for, kippers is not out of equilibrium at the moment.
However, the fact that the dye can camouflage badly smoked kippers is bad.
The case, which rested on the fact that an uncooked kipper had been sold, reached the court.
Take the case of kippers, which were 9½ d. a 1b.
Do they not possess the skill to gut a herring or take a package of kippers and hand them over the counter?
