Urm...fish tongues huh? well, I'm sure if it was FRIED it tasted good, but I wouldn't*and couldn't, allergies* eat that but I bet John would scarf them down....aren't they tiny tho? how many did you get in a pound? what did you have with them? Did you dip them in anything?
Hmm...can't really think of any american dish thats got dodgy ingrediants, apart from, well, hot dogs, LOL. cheap hots dogs epecially.
That class sounded fun! I'd so love to take some craft classes, I'd love to take a class on stained glass..I have the concentration for stuff like that. So take some pics of the finished painting and post them!! I want to see your painting.
sounds like maybe you're coming out of your doldrums a bit,maybe it was just winter and circumstances that were making you feel rather crummy about life...I hope you can find something to make you feel good, you usually seem to enjoy life alot. Chin up, you'll muddle thru. LOL Pointless advice eh? It's good to see you posting about your life again. *hugs* Gail
I've never tasted fishtounges we don't have them here, but the sheepheads, ram's balls and blood pancakes, blood soup and blood sausages, are all a traditional icelandic dish and quite delicious (well not the bloodsoup actually) :)
that reminds me last time I was home I took some pictures to show you guys of traditional icelandic cuisine :) burned and boiled sheepshead http://www.geocities.com/gerdur69/svid.html
Mmm...LOL. The sheepheads are mainly a westcoast speciality, that the vikings very likely brought with them to iceland long ago. It was the western people who went...well, west, to iceland. And if I´m not totally mistaken, they also smoke and salt the sheepheads before boiling them.
We share a lot of traditions, it seems. Too bad some of our food traditions is lost more and more, as most of us live off hamburgers and pizza and couldn´t be bothered with the older dishes as making them is a time-consuming task..

Hmmmm....those pics look so yummy Sixty nine...*licks lips*...HAHA NOT !!!! I notice that lump of yellow stuff on the plate got eaten up as well ... sheep brain by any chance? LOL
Nomad....OMG... I never even imagined fish had tongues !! I mean, I have seen an oxe tongue in the butchers shop, (puke) , but I am sure the fish in Oz dont have tongues..LOL
We eat pretty normal food here. I have seen emu pies , kangaroo steak, koala bear nose.......well, ok, I made that last one up ..hehe. But I have never had any of that food myself. Um, I do eat vegemite just about every day , and we now have kahliua flavoured tim tams ....maybe I shouldnt have mentioned this as I can see myself shipping crateloads overseas !
Wait till I tell my friends about the cod tongues, and fish heads hahaha They will thnk I made it up. You can buy money bags made out of kangaroo scrotum....not to eat tho:)
Haha...I had actually meant to say sheep heads (ugh), but it came out as fish heads....and you have those tasty morsels as well ??? *bags ze eyes* !! Und boiled sheeps face......OMG !!!! LOL You know Irene, where I said I might hop on a plane and visit you .. urm....will we be having cod tongues or fish heads? Can I bring my own vegemite? Oh, yes, you havn't mentioned yet how big these 'cod tongues' are? I am vastly interested in them. Someone at work gave me a tin of sprats, and they have been sitting on the bench at work for a year now....heh..we laugh at what we think we might find in that tin. Sprats is a funny word methinks..LOL
( ... )
LMAO I knew those pictures would get the desired effect :) Svið (the sheepheads) are actually quite tasty, it's a delicasy. My parents eat everything on the head basically, eyes, ears, the fat at the back of the neck (Icelanders don't eat brains and never have, just as well since we would have had to give them up, now you can't eat sheepbrains cause of a disease similar to mad cow disease). Myself I only eat the muscles in the cheeks. Just about the best meat you can have. *drool* A friend of mine refused to even try it, cause she didn't like to eat food that could look back at her. :) and Nomad you're right those are mashed parsnips, (made exactly the same way you make mashed potatoes only substitue the potatoes with boiled parsnips), to tell the thruth I think it tastes abs vile.
You´re so right. Those heads looks like something you imagine the neandertals would eat...but you cook the whole head *squints to look closer* Here it´s parted in two, from the nose and back.
I love mashed parsnips! Nothing goes so well along with salted, smoked, boiled and burned lamb as mashed parsnips and potatoes LOL Every christmas eve I cook/damp salted and smoked lambs rib, and I wouldn´t dream of serving it without.
The only brain I eat is the fishheads´...Heh I wasn´t kidding...

The only urm.....'normal' (and I use that term loosely) person eating food here is Warzig :) And I am not too sure about her either LOL
Hmmmm, what I wouldn't give now for a tasty spinal chord haha ...
We do eat a fair bit of tomato sauce, and NO, I dont home make it, it comes conviently in a bottle. A pie aint a pie unless it has tomato sauce on it.
