Answer: kippers

The 1978 album, "Breakfast In America", gave us many big hits including the huge smash hit, "The Logical Song". But in the song bearing the album's title, the lyrics asked, "Could we have kippers for breakfast, mommy dear, mommy dear?" Kippers are also known as smoked herring and have long been enjoyed by North Americans, Europeans, and especially the British. I still love them, especially the ones with hot sauce!

Answer: Bagpipes

Bagpipes mainly originate from Europe, but most people are most familiar with those from Scotland. The player holds a cloth coated bag, and attached to this is a blowpipe, chanter and drones. The player blows air through the blowpipe which fills the bag. Air is then released from the bag through drones to create a constant note throughout play.

A chanter is also attached to the bag. Similar in look to a flute, the chanter has holes which the player opens and closes using his/her fingers which in turn produces the melody.
