   @NingasKugon09 This makes sense. The spouse is hooked on plain rice and tomato sauce on the side, but I like Madeira sauces for tongue. I love things cooked in dough or with a crust. If you even show a dumpling to a French person, they run, it seems. I think Jello? and cornbread could be prison food here. And bbq! And stuffed poultry! Hee hee hee hee!! And peanut butter! hee hee hee hee!!!!

   @slobomotion …i have not eaten a good lengua recipe since i left many yrs ago. Cooking/food back home taste so different, must be the fresh local ingredients. I can make some but then again too lazy to travel 20-30miles to go to a specialty store. :)) especially now? that it’s 20*F brrrrrr….

   @NingasKugon09 I hear ya! Dinner is shaping up well. The spouse will be out ALL NIGHT in the cold. Quiche, rice, tongue, tomato sauce, beets, carrots, fruit, cheese, yogurt. It’s really hard to recreate dishes from elsewhere in the world. You need the climate, the local water, the “breath” of the place. By feeding him well,? I benefit, too. I am a pretty square spouse in many ways. Bless ya!

   @slobomotion “the “breath” of the place” Exactement!

   Every few months a “continental market” calls in Carlisle, northern UK, and I once bought a selection of rillettes from them, but it was so disappointing, they tasted nothing like they should have, in the cold north England air.

   I envy you - the rillettes, the terrines, real baguettes, and so on. Also if you get the chance, grab a bag of Craquelins de St Malo. Imagine a crispy, light yorkshire pudding? - delicious snacks with fave food on.

   I’ve? had beef tongue a few times and enjoy it in small portions. Your ‘pie’ looks amazing.

   @modoc42 My spouse had a dinner fit for a king last night. He is sleeping now, having been out all night in the freezing rain until 5 am. Graveyard shift on the tarmac. The tongue was only 3 euros and there’s enough left for today, also. Things are far from perfect here but we are eating well and cheaply! ? xo

   @NingasKugon09 I’d be lost without the dishwasher. I have an okay juicer from years ago which still works but I get so lazy about using it! At least the blender, first gadget I’ve ever had here in 20 years I can recall, most of it goes into the dishwasher! ?

    @Skraeling1000 I’ve been to Carlisle! You know, the food in the UK had such a bad rep, but I was always okay with it, often selecting local game and products. I only had a few disappointments in my many visits to England and once to Scotland as far as food went. What I do find a bit sad is that people get bored? with their local fare, not realizing what a treat it is for visitors! I often just asked in England, “Is it any good?” They usually said yes or no!

    @TheSheChef The flavor in those dang four little pieces of ox tail was . . . sublime. I still have a big quantity of the broth from that and the tongue, also. I am not going to go mental and be too retentive, but I am using it to cook some other things. Waste not, want not! I grew up with “soul food” in Ohio and we used to laugh about it, we were eating poverty food and it was so good! My family was a mess but we did have some good moments!? You are my kind of ET! xo

    @slobomotion I was lucky - in Cumbria most of the various eateries are good. But good food in the UK tends to be scattered - only 100 miles away, the pub food was terrible!

    When you visit that area again, if you have spare cash, try Overwater Hall? or Sharrow Bay Hotel. Expensive but worth it for a once in a lifetime experience imo

    @Skraeling1000 I hear ya. I recently found a collection of receipts going back to 1980 from the UK and Scotland, and remembered a lot of good places and meals. It seemed the best I had was either very costly or very cheap. I’m just really glad I had so little of that “terrible UK food” experience I’d heard so much of. Frequently, asking people quietly where they’d take a loved one? for something nice usually paid off.

    aspic…i’m game on tryin’….but veal tongue? Never heard of the stuff or seen it for that matter,…looks kinda weird but most of the weird stuff, taste is outta this world GOOD!!! Thumbs up beautiful,…only 4 more days ’til Christmas and a visit from Saint Nick or the Three Wise Kings? Take care beautiful!! =D?

    @qualqui Lamb, beef, veal or even pork tongue . . . not actually the easiest thing to prepare in an appetizing way! Ditto aspic. It’s often taken me several attempts and a lot of cookbook and video study to get it correct. My best to you! Very dark, unpleasant, sad time for? me. Counting my blessings! But keeping my eyes, ears and thoughts open. And my attackers . . . vengeance shall be mine! xo

    @thetruthergirls? OMG you are a YouTube superstar! I am glad you saw this. I swear, vlogging has kept me on track. My new business is finally picking up. It has been absolute heck these past two years, the crap of my life. My spouse yelled at me awhile back and called me a loser who spends too much time online. Well, I just gave him about 20 grand, so he is quiet for now! He does eat well. I am a good wife and I suspect you are, too. xo
