My Mum used to boil it once in water for an hour or so, then for
several hours in milk with lots of onions and black pepper. Used to be
one of my total favourite foods - I can't find anywhere to buy it from
any more, I even tried to get it last time I had a 1/4 cow from a
butcher who does his own killing, but it was all spoken for by the
restaurant trade!
