I'm not sure I follow. Where is your source that bread must function as
a scoop tool to be bread. I've certainly seen Tshuvos where the question
of herring on a piece of bread is a question. What's more important,
the herring or the bread. Depends on the person? They didn't use herring
in Sefardi countries and of course German Jews saw herring as the poor
Polish/Russian food.
