    My daughter is teaching animal science and agriculture to high school students in North Carolina (USA. She is a fun and innovative teacher. As a direct Harwell descendant, I think she’ll love the receipe for tougue or udder. I am passing this along to her to share with her students. Let’s see what happens.

    It would seem that most anything with butter, gravy, and sweet sauce could be tasty? Most of my recorded lineage seems to go back to the brothers that came to Virginia. this is an interesting website. Thanks to those that have prepared it.
