Dave and Karin: Again, my 4 cents worth. I love Tongue. Dave, my mother cooked it the same way yours did and served it the same, and she was born and brought up in Canada of two very British parents who immigrated here from Cambridge and Exeter, in the late 1800s. Speaking of immigrating. I was posted to Munich Germany 1964-1967 with the Kanadische Auswanderungs Bureau, then on Josefspitalstr, in the middle of the Red light district.. This latter is beside the point, but thought you would be interested. One day a German male, who had immigrated to Canada some years previously, came to the office with his brother. He was trying to convince his brother to immigrate to Canada as well. His brother had reservations because he would miss his favourite dish, brains from cows and pigs. His brother told him that he must put up with that, because in Canada they didn't eat things like that they fed them to the dogs. I cannot comment on that sentiment because I have never eaten brains. Anyone out there care to comment on the edibility and desirability of this delicacy.

Reminds me of 2 weeks I spent in Atlanta, Georgia, where everyone encouraged me to try grits. Not being an early-morning breakfast eater, I put it off, saying that's what we feed our cattle up in Iowa! :-) Dorie ----- Original Message ----- From: <lumby@air.on.ca> To: <GERMAN-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 2:43 PM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-LIFE] Eels, snails, and other yummy things > Dave and Karin: > > Again, my 4 cents worth. > > I love Tongue.
