True Story:
ReplyDeleteMy father's parents were having dinner with my parents. My mother is an anthropologist who has worked with fishing villages for a long time, so naturally my grandfather thought she was an appropriate target for the following question.
"Is herring one type of fish, or is that the general term for fish that swim in large schools?"
My mother, accustomed to such odd queries from her in-laws, replied, "Herring is the name of one species. There are many different types of schooling fish."
"Well," my grandmother interjected, "there are two types of herring. There's herring in tomato sauce and herring in mustard."
You forgot to mention the required use of breathing apparatus! I'm Manx, and I still can't stand the smell!! :)
