15 years, still runs PERFECT! I would drive anything older then a 05, I hate the looks of the older VW, except the 88 Rabbit, love that thing a lot. They are excellent machines, no question about it. Personally I'm more of a Subaru/Hyundai/Mazda guy. I do drive one (08 Jetta). It will take a lot to make me buy another VAG car. Everyday my 2000 Passat has 186,000 miles and counting! Some time ago, I drove a friends VW. Needless to say, I went and bought one . Since then I have owned only VWs. I usually drive them for abt 90k miles and then trade for a new one . My current VW is a 2006 GTI with 47k bullet-proof , enjoyable miles on it . The GTI, just like the other VWs I have owned, is a durable, fun-to-drive car. Yes, YES , I will continue to drive VWs! I drive the most is a 71. These cars are great! I can drive almost 400 miles on 3/4 of a tank of gas.. Yeah, I would drive my Volkswagen's. The 71 is my newest, my 65 is my oldest. Oh, am I starting to brag? Yeah, I had a Mk4 GLS 2.0 Jetta and it was a piece of slop, but then I traded up to a Mk4 GLX VR6 and it was a sweet car. Hauled balls, and never gave me a single problem. It got totalled when it was rear-ended by a Suburban with bull bars on the front and got plowed into the van in front of me, but I walked away from it without injury, so hey!
I did not have the dish in a long while; my current husband is a German, so I switched my favorite dish to the Pork Knuckle in sour Kraut - but this will be another lens. An amazing fact surfaces now: I did a bit of research for this lens and I found out that Bill was not exactly truthful to me about the potted hough. He was not using the original recipe but made it up to be simpler. Well, it looks like there are two kinds of recipes for the potted hough, The Scottish recipe and Bill's recipe. So, I tried the original one now, the one that every Scottish recipe site is promoting. I have to admit that Bill's potted hough beats the genuine Scottis recipe. Bill's potted hough is better by far. The use of vegetables makes the broth opaque and the taste is getting close to any vegetable soup you know. The meat getting minced will change the texture and taste into a rather bland cold paste.
The potted hough, the way Bill used to make would still win the contest of potted houghs in Botswana, if it would be ever organized. Hm, maybe it can be a project for the future? Click thumbnail to view full-size Warning! The potted hough can not be kept in the deep freezer. The cold under freezing point destroys the gelatine that came off the bones and kept the hough's firm texture.. Cover with water. Let it simmer for six hours or so. When meat comes off bones easy, add salt and pepper to taste, take pot off the stove. Place solid content on a plate. Use fork to take off meat of the bones in shreds. Place meat shreds into bowls. Take fatty spots off the broth's surface. Pour broth over meat into bowls. Let potted hough set over night. Simmer the meat for six hours or so. When cooked to tender, place shin off the pot.
Remove meat from shinbone. Mince meat and place it back into the pot. Salt pepper to taste. Boil for another 20 minutes. Pour content of pot into bowls. Let potted hough set into firm form.
