   or anything that can look back (i was served some sort of fish head dish once. ugh)

   wiseguy, in many cultures the head of the fish is a delicacy and to be served it is an honour. Fish eyes and fish cheeks are considered to be the best of the best.

   Having expounded on that I can’t say that I like them all that much either

   Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
   Yumm!

   In the evening, floating in the soup”

   Why would you assume it was fish. I associate tongue, with beef and I would quite enjoy Tempura Tongue Tidbits. Actually I prefer tongue burritos.

   cleokays: Re Tongue burritos.

   I’m in agreement! I like to try “new” things & asked the woman what “la lengua” burritos were - she stuck out her tongue & pointed at it while saying tongue. They Are Good!

   Of course, I grew up with homemade pickled tongue & not grossed out at the concept. Menundo - well, not everything but my dad & brother liked tripe. But I digress from the topic…good night folks - I’m going back to bed!

   Of course (for both cleo and Jehoshaphat) it wasn’t Roz who had prepared them–there is almost nothing she is incapable of ruining.

   Always served catsup with tongue.

   There you go again with the catsup. No doubt you’d put catsup on eggs (disgusting!!). Catsup has its place…in the garbage can. No catsup! No way! No how!.

   I note that there have been tongue & cheek comments.

    I like tempura but…yuck!…and no more catsup jokes!

    i didn’t assume fish, that was a past experience. i’ve seen roast suckling pig on movies/TV shows and it doesn’t strike me as appetizing either (the head bit, i mean). and yet, for some reason, i’ve always wanted to try haggis but never got up enough nerve. anyhow, time for lunch

    Here’s looking at Shoe, kid!

    It’s a lame duck today.

    @EMET: even by my standards, that pun was bad.
    and i usually say, “the badder the better.”

    EMET - Stay out of the Sun if it’s too hot out where U live & drink lots of fluids - especially Water AND/OR some form of electrolyte replacement drink like Gatorade (TM). Some days you sound more lucid than others…some postings are sounding more like heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

    BTW - there are many meaning for “Lame Duck”. Perhaps Ms. Palin should have checked them out before using them in her announcement:

    I also heard a piece on NPR this morning about a list of the Top Cities to live in - the top 3 are in Canada - I think NYC was around 43. At the end of the report, they played the Canadian National Anthem ….”Oh Canada….” “A”

    It’s interesting that the most relished dishes in some cultures are the most revolting in others.

    I wish I lived back in Chicago where you could get a good tongue sandwhich Instead of out here in hot Arizona

    chromosome - I know what you mean - my father once said he learned the butchering trade (back in the 30’s) from a local grocery store who did their own “meat processing”. We almost always had homemade “everything” available (dairy, grains, garden, fruit trees). I grew up with the “smells” of homemade bread coming out of the oven & chocolate chip cookies while they were still warm.

    I come from a family of mixed DNA - Scottish-German mostly - my Grandmothers cooked from scratch & not always from cookbook recipes. My mom would cook up a batch of tripe for my dad & brothers, but would make something else for herself. Once I pulled out a “ring” of something I thought was a homemade “Kielbasa Sausage” - my brother looked at how I was going to cook “IT” (by steaming “IT” in a pan of water). He let me know that’s not how U cook “IT”…

    I’ll leave the rest up to the imagination - let’s just say I made myself something else for that meal and “IT’s” a “Scottish Delicacy”…
