Very nice dish! Great appetizer.
I will definetely make this again.
Not in the least because it's a nice way to eat veal tongue.
Maybe it needs to soak/marinate in a little bit more sauce, next time.

We were staying in the same guest house as this friendly couple. Hope they see this photo so that if they wish they can download a copy.
Mom: That's Frank Santo and Charlie Carreras. They were lawyers. I went to work with them part-time when I was in college, and full-time afterwards. They had offices near Pace College, I think.

This album is the contents of 2 photo albums purchased last year at a sale.
Vernon William J Y Baker was b1921 West Ham area. I believe he was the son of William T Baker and Grace Cole married 1915 West Ham district. I think Vernon had a sister Mertle V G Baker b1924 West Ham area.
Vernon married Maria Ce leste De La Rocca in Dartford area in 1946. I guess they met while Vernon was in the army in France during WW2.
I can only find one child for the couple Paul V J Y Baker b1952 who sadly died in 1955.
Vernon died in 1998 in the Bromley area. I can find no trace of what happened to his sister.
Any further information would be most welcome.

Bill and Ellen have been a married couple for many years; longer, maybe, than they will be able to remember in a couple more decades. Congrats Bill & Ellen. Thanks for posing for this photo and being an inspiration to Melody and me.

A little more Oslo street. I was on my way to a meeting. While waiting for a colleague I sat on a bench and let the pictures come to me.
Met this fellow at a mall 40 years ago. He was the best looking Wizard I'd ever seen. He was thrilled to model for me. Search through my art if you want to see the painting I used him in.
William and Elizabeth Gray, painted by Gilbert Stuart. These portraits seem so subtly alive and cheerily vivid (especially the husband's) that they're probably my favorite things at the Peabody Essex Museum.

Fuchsia Dunlop adjusted her recipe for man-and-wife meat slices to the West, using lean beef, like flank steak. But originally this dish is prepared with slices of boiled ox heart, tongue and stomach. My chinese colleagues in Beijing used to order this and I would recognized the tongue and picked it out of the dish. Maybe not very polite to take the best from a dish, hihi, but hey, I was the foreigner.
Tongue I like, so why using flank steak? Only, I never made tongue before in my life.
And when I found it at the islamic butchers' I had to search the internet to find out what to do with it. Unfortunately, the instructions went from soaking it for 2 days to just rinsing it before boiling it in a broth. I decided to go safe and in the middle.
So I rinsed and then soaked the tongue in cold salted water for 4 hours, changing the water once. Then boiling/blanching it for a minute or two. Throw away the water and then finally put it in the broth I prepared.
I'm still not sure how much of this preperation is needed. The veal tongue looked/smelt/felt okay when I bought it. Hopefully I will know if I can safely skip these steps before the next time I will try this dish.
The next hurdle was deciding how long it should simmer.
The silly thing was that I had asked my butcher for an ox tongue and during the whole cooking process never realized it was just too small to be from an ox. But I only realized that after 4 hours of simmering!!! Haha. Which is way too long for an exquisite veal tongue.
I did check the skin regularly though. Recipes say the tongue is ready when the skin comes off easily. But even after 4 hours I didn't think it came of easily. I expected something like "the falling of the bone"-stage with lambshanks. But when I finally decided 4 hours were enough and was willing to cut the skin off, I found out that the skin indeed was coming of easily. Haha. You had to use some force, pulling hard, but it came of in a few easy peels.
Next time I will simmer it much shorter.
Or maybe longer, but in my crockpot/slowcooker. We'll see.
By the way, the tongue was still edible and quite nice for a first attempt ever of preparing ox euh veal tongue. Just not as velvety as it could have been.
But I'm happy and call it a succes. :-)
This very smart couple agreed to allow me to photograph them. They were dressed for the Victorian Christmas Market. They looked a treat and were so charming.
The colour version is so much better than the mono one.
