Etymology
The term 'kippered' originates from the word 'kipper,' which is believed to derive from the Middle English term 'kipryn' meaning 'to cure or preserve fish.' This reflects the method through which the fish is treated. The process of kippering has roots in ancient preservation techniques used by various cultures to extend the shelf life of fish before modern refrigeration was available. The technique became particularly synonymous with herring and salmon, especially in regions of the UK and Scandinavia. Kippers were traditionally consumed as a breakfast food, especially in Britain, and their popularity has remained due to their unique flavor and historical significance in British cuisine.
