I don't think I have a really favourite recipe but ask me what is my favourite food and that's a different question - a good pair of kippers - hard to get these days, but I could eat them at any time of the day!

what are kippers

When all else fails, check Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kippers

We just do them the easy way: we have the vendor slice the hocks into one inch slices, boil a while to set the protein and remove some fat, layer the slices in sauerkraut and thick sliced spuds, in a slow cooker, let run for about 4 hours, and Bob's yer uncle.
(The resulting liquid from the prep boil is decanted, frozen, and saved for the next boil, be that chicken prior to BBQ'ing, spare ribs, etc. The resulting broth is strained, and saved for borscht, hangover soup, etc.)
