Apparently sheep's brains, were another 'delicacy' I would eat when I was very little.....

Ah! It all becomes clear!

Hello SgtShepard

Welcome to the forum, lots of great information available here and lots of off-topic rubbish as well. The trick is sifting one from the other.

As a welcome here is a paper model of the Green Dragon Tavern from here http://www.delta7studios.com/green%20dragon.htm



Direct pdf link is http://www.delta7studios.com/images/Green%20Dragon.pdf

It is at 1/120 scale but if you print it out at 80% it will come down to 1/150

A 1/300 sloop that served at Lake Champlain is here http://www.warartisan.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/000kit.20451007.zip

Depends what flavour they are, Mark !

I can remember eating 'sweetmeats' covered in breadcrumbs when I was very small...and thinking they were absolutely delicious.
It was decades later before I found out they were 'ram lambs' testicles.

Apparently sheep's brains, were another 'delicacy' I would eat when I was very little......Those I can't remember at all. (Thank goodness !)

Actually sweetmeats/ sweetbreads are traditionally the thymus gland from the neck plus the pancreas - the idea they are sheep's testicles is apparently a myth. Prairie Oysters on the other hand ...

That doesn't sound quite so yukky, for some reason......And as far as eating sheep's brain......I fortunately have no memory of that, at all.
Thanks , Mike.

Thanks all for the warm welcome and the sidetracked humor.    

Thank You GrumpyOldMan for the links.  I'll make good use of those.

Sarge.....

We'll go off on a tangent, at the drop of a hat. 
But you will find some very helpful/useful stuff hidden within some of the nonsense that's written here. 

Cheers - Phil

Actually Ivhad Prairie Oysters deepbfried in batter with a choice of dips on a visit to Cody, Wyo. They were delicious.
