"'What about mackerel with custard? "" When I get the courage up, I'm going to try and recreate the ancient Roman dish of pears in garum* and custard. *Garum = rotten/fermented fish sauce"

"Coffee, dunno, I always had herring down as jewish or scandi food. I do love kippers on toast or a decent herring salad, as long as ALL bones are removed"

"The herring is king in Poland as well, mind you I find the recipes a little over-elaborate - all that cream, cheese, beetroot and general faffing around. The best of course comes from Holland and Denmark and I'm happy to say I just had me some top-notch herring at the market in Maasticht on a paper plate with nothing more than chopped raw ONION."

"Its not that far of a leap from an Arnold Bennett, so can't see why not.."

"Rios Surely it's the herring? What's a traditional English breakfast without kippers with a poached egg or two? Nothing. Funnily enough, I had kippers yesterday for the first time in about 30 years.

"Mackerel risotto, fucking superb"

What about mackerel with custard?

If you’re in the Andes post plane crash freezing and starving awaiting rescue and it appears on a silver platter then……maybe yes.

"Christ on a bike, that's wrong. Love a bit of kedgeree mind"

Absofuckinglutely...sounds delish * * I apologise for the use of this word

"Pussy like Kimchi? Whatever floats your boat, I guess."

"I'd rather eat Arthur Scargill's under pants in a toasted baguette, Au Naturel."

Be grateful your paths have never crossed and the North Korean organ bank still hasn’t benefitted from what would ensue.

"Four letters - something H, something T."

"She'd rather have me eat her kipper, that's why."

"My wife won’t let me have kippers. Outright, adamant, flat refuses - has done for years. It RANKLES."

Making mackerel pate is the way forward. It's tremendous
