Connecticut is known as the âconstitution state.â While the origin on this title is uncertain, the nickname is assumed to reference the Fundamental Orders of 1638-39. These Fundamental Orders represent the framework for the first formal government written by a representative body in Connecticut.
A kipper is a smoked herring. After they have been caught, the herrings are gutted, split and lightly soaked in brine. Then they are smoked over hardwood chips in a kiln. The best ones come from the Isle of Man, Loch Fyne and Northumberland and are sold complete with head, tail and backbone.
