This is very good! There was a time many years ago when pork tongue was the only meat we could afford. I used it mainly in curries and stews, and always found it good. I followed this recipe in most respects, though I did cut the sugar to almost half, and used a yellow bell pepper. It did take quite a lot more time to cook than is suggested here. Thank you for sharing a very good recipe with us.Reply
