The only Galois theory I ever found useful is that if you smoke one, you turn green. Seemed to hold true in practice also ;-)

I find that the kipper fits best in the mouth, preferably having cut it into bite-sized peices, but YMMV ;-)

Slice of very fresh new white bread, deeply buttered and hot kippers - yum - beats a chip butty and that's saying a lot.
