Lambs Tongues Stewed - Six tongues, three heaping table-spoonfuls of
butter, one large onion, two slices of carrot, three slices of white
turnip, three table-spoonfuls of flour, one of salt, a little pepper,
one quart of stock or water and a bouquet of sweet herbs. Boil the
tongues one hour and a half in clear water; then take up, cover with
cold water, and draw off the skins. Put the butter, onion, turnip and
carrot in the stew-pan, and cook slowly for fifteen minutes; then add
the flour, and cook until brown, stirring all the while. Stir the
stock into this, and when it boils up, add the tongue, salt, pepper
and herbs. Simmer gently for two hours. Cut the carrots, turnips and
potatoes into cubes. Boil the potatoes in salted water ten minutes,
and the carrots and turnips one hour. Place the tongues in the centre
of a hot dish. Arrange the vegetables around them, strain the gravy,
and pour over all. Garnish with parsley, and serve.

I'm jealous! It's been many, many years since I had stewed lambs tongue
that mom served. I wish I could find them locally! They are
wonderful...

I believe the tongue they were talking about was from the animal

Yes, that would have been indicated by the part about "drawing off the
skins" in the recipe given. Sometimes Sheldon's senility causes him to lose
track of what has already been written in a thread.

Also, the recipe is plagiarized from _"Miss Parloa's New Cook Book And
Marketing Guide_, and can be viewed at

where PROPER attribution is given.

They were being a smart-ass, which was why I ignored the post. ;-)
_I_ knew they were talking about animal protein...

I thought it was clever. All I knew about was Lambs Ears. Maybe he needed
to put a smiley face on his sentence?

True!

And I used to grow Lambs Tongue. It's an attractive landscaping plant.
