As you can all see I’m still struggling with the lighting in this dining room. Bloody down lights!

This was delicious. I was worried about burning the sugar crust but the darkest bits were the best so I’ll take it further next time.
 
What does culis stand for? A jam variation?

A coulis is a pressed and filtered liquid juice from a fruit or other source. It may be used in a variety of ways, from a flavor agent to a topping.
 
Complain to wiki. There is no mention there is tongue, just smoked pork.

Can you PM me 'evidence' if it being tongue?

I stand corrected. I did some thorough digging and found that linguica is not made from tongue meat, but pork butt.

Thank you for challenging my assumption which was based upon the name of the sausage and what I'd always believed it was made from.

In Portuguese, lingua means tongue. By adding -ica as a suffix, you get a diminutive form . There´s no evidence that this sausage ever contained tongue; only pork. Linguica is just a name for the sausage.
Wiki is notoriously innacurate on a number of issues!

A "coulis" is a thick sauce, usually made with fruit or pureed vegetables. It originated in France.
Simply, if you want to make a raspberry coulis, you take a punnet of raspberries, add some sugar ( maybe 50 gms or so), a few tbsps of water, and cook it through until the raspberries dissolve. Then you strain the sauce through a sieve.
Chefs love to decorate their dishes with coulis!
