By Lamb's Tongue Salad
One pint pickled lambs' tongues, one pint hot boiled potatoes, parsley, pepper, French dressing, lettuce.
Drain and cut the lambs' tongues into thin slices. Put a layer in the bottom of a salad bowl, then a layer of thin sliced, but boiled potatoes, then another layer of tongue, sprinkling of parsley and a little pepper, and so continue until you have the desired quantity. Mix it with a French dressing, and serve on lettuce leaves.
Shad Roe Salad
One set of shad roes, ½ pint mayonnaise, one or two heads of lettuce, one slice of onion.
Wash the roes, cover with boiling salted water and simmer for twenty minutes. Drain and put away in a cold place. Just before dinner remove the skin from the roes, cut in thin slices or in dice. Put one slice of onion in the center of the salad dish, arrange around it cups or nests of crisp lettuce leaves. Put a large tablespoonful of the shad roe in each lettuce cup, with some of the mayonnaise on the top. The cut up roe may be served with a French dressing if liked.
Lamb's tongue? LAMB'S TONGUE?! That, for some reason, disturbs me for several reasons... like Hannibal Lecter's final meal or something. Maybe it is the fact that my mind went directly to 'Silence of the Lambs' that disturbs me most. After all, I've eaten lamb before.
What is a shad roe? I figured it was some kind of animial, and that assumption was verified by the "skin" reference. Is it a fish? I never was particularly fond of fish growing up, so I will use that excuse for my ignorance.
Shad is a type of fish. Roe would be its eggs, or its sacks of eggs, which have an outer membrane.
There was a Mork & Mindy episode that took place in a kitchen. A fish, maybe a salmon, and a jar of caviar were on the counter. Robin Williams' goofy alien character pushed the caviar toward the whole fish, saying, "Back to the mother ship! Roe, roe, roe your boat!"
I wonder what percentage of the audience caught the pun?
I wonder what percentage of the people reading this know what Mork & Mindy was?
Little fluffy lambs gamble around in the fields, jumping up and down, the joy of being alive.........

Enjoy as you think of the little fluffy things that make spring great.........Better left in the lambs, GET A VEGGIE COOK BOOK!!!!!

OH, ROE! Geez, I know what that is... my children love it! We eat salmon roe at sushi restaurant on California Rolls and by itself on rice.
Mork & Mindy - never heard of it. Nanu-nanu :). I can make the hand gesture too. Sounds like a hilarious episode. I may need a refresher course.
I have no trouble with fishes..... as long as you take the head off and the eye's aren't looking at me.
I get that guilty feeling......
Or even fish.
Midge, Midge, Midge...you miss the point of leaving the eyes in the fish. The correct spelling of 'sea food' is SEE food,
because it is proper to let the fish SEE you as you are eating it.
Only polite, don't you know.
