Haha, are you my dad? I swear that is the only meal he can make, and whenever my mom went away for a couple days when we were little, we had Kippers and Eggs for EVERY MEAL. I do love them a LOT. To tell you the truth, though, I'm not exactly sure what a Kipper even is. I mean, I think it's actually referring to the style in which the fish is prepared, not the actual fish, but I could be wrong. Doesn't "kippered herring" sound right to you? Anyway I eat sardines all the time and I am fine, and they are also considered a fatty fish. The thing to remember with fat content is that you don't want it to make up more than 30% of your meal. So, if you are having egg whites with kippers, with bagels or english muffins or toast, then that should be enough soluable. Are you buying kippers packed in water or oil? Get them packed in water. If you can't, then rinse the oil-packed ones really well beforehand. I'd say go ahead and give it a try on a Saturday when you have nothing to do, so you can be home in case the attack strikes. Mmmm you are making me crave some Kippers and Eggs!
PS, random question but I bet you are Jewish. My dad is Jewish and claims that Kippers and Eggs are "Jew Food." I've never met a non-Jew (other than myself, raised Christian because my mom won the coin toss) who ate kippers and eggs.
