Ask the Old Farmer: While in Maine this summer we noticed that many natives had smoked herring for breakfast two or thrte times a week. Do many New En gland coastal residents still t - like the old-fashioned break fasts? J. F., Alexandria, Va. They sure do. And not just up and down the coast. Besides smoked herring, many Yankees like breakfasts of codfish cakes and beans, warmed over chowder and eombread, and fried smelts and johnny cakes. A lot of apple pie disappears at breakfast too.
