Leslie, they eat all kinds of weird things in Louisiana. Once at a zydeco festival, I ate a fried pig's tail. The flavor was fine -- like bacon -- but I was just a little too aware I was eating, well ... a tail. It was curly!
And speaking of salami and cheese sandwiches, I love muffalettas: salami, ham, cheese and a spicy green-olive salad on a gigantic kaiser roll!
David, kippers are readily available in American supermarkets. They don't look as yummy as the ones you posted, though
-- they come sans heads, in flat rectangular tin cans. Look near the canned tuna and salmon. I love them, though after you cook them the house smells fishy for the rest of the day. And I know how much you love fish!
