And all because of this "Lungenbraten" topic.<br />It is obviously malapropism, a language blunder. The word used sounds similar to the one intended. <br />Malapropism example:<br />Alice said she couldn't eat crabs or any other crushed Asians. (crustaceans)<br />Tom is the very pineapple of politeness. (pinnacle)<br />or like Archie Bunker said:<br />"Patience is a virgin". (virtue)<br /><br />I dug a little around to find the story about this "word blunder".<br />The origin is the Latin word "lumbus" (loin). But ordinary people didn't speak Latin. So they heard strange word and used something that sounded similar. <br />During the medieval age it became "lume, lumpe. In Vienna during baroque people started to call it "Lummelbraten" or "Lumpelbraten". In the 18th century the first "Lungel-Bratl" version surfaced. From there it deformed into "Lungenbraten". <br />In Germany: Lendenbraten. <br />By the way, I do the malapropism thing myself and everyone realizes that English is not my native language. It is often a source of great hilarity.

I suppose I should have taken a picture, but it was definitely called "Lungenbraten". Maybe because a tenderloin kind of *looked* like a lung? I know it's supposed to be "Lendenstuek" or something like that, but I knows what I saw.

Have you had the opportunity to visit his memorial near Thunder Bay? We stopped there last summer during our road trip out to Saskatchewan. Very emotional experience to be there where he was forced to end his run because of the cancer.

I am sure you meant "Lendenbraten". <br />Lende = old fashioned for kidney.<br />Lendenbraten made from muscle meat cover over the kidney area. <br />Lunge = lung. <br />There is a "Lungenhaschée". That's is fried lung tissue. Very popular in Austria, Bavaria and there around. NOTHING I would eat.<br />So there.
