    I'd LOVE to try that Basque restaurant! I've had lamb many times only because my uncle always sheep on his New England farm and the kids raised them to show in 4-H. The lamb looked fantastic and the trout and the cabbage soup looked great and that's coming from someone who makes a mean pot of cabbage soup herself LOL. I'm glad you liked it. I've never been to a Basque restaurant but I'll have to Google if there are any around here.

    Dancing and Diddling? Oh my! I'm not interested in gambling or going to brothels(No!) but the town looks really nice. Nice courthouse, nice murals. The house at 105 Oak is going for $495,000. "Built in 1929 by Nevada Supreme Court Justice Milton Badt, this historic Elko home was designed to resemble the Badt's honeymoon cottage in England." It's really lovely and what a great neighborhood! Looks like, some of those houses in the hills are going from over 500k to about 800k. Most in the 600-700 range, if I'm looking at it correctly. Land is expensive. I saw 7.39 acres going for 650k and one with 18+ acres going for .1.55 mil.

    When my cousin came over to visit from the US, he'd never eaten lamb in his life before. Here in the UK, it's really popular, and in fact it's my favourite meat, the flavour is incredible. If anyone from the US reads this and has never tried lamb, and is an omnivore, you should really look out for it. Properly cooked it is so succulent, tender and that incredible flavour. :)

    • @JesusHernandez-ll5ok
      @JesusHernandez-ll5ok 11 месяцев назад

      Yeah babe! That's the word:" properly cooked" but because of the vast land in America from Alaska to Argentina, to rise cattle it's the best choice.

Looking over the menu at The Star, Mountain Trout would have been my pick as well--I'm always on the lookout for trout when I'm traveling in the west. Good choice Nic!

    Haven been there in over 50 years but Star Boardinghouse, was one of the most excellent eating places in Nevada, at the time it was still an active boardinghouse. At 5:00pm the dinner bell was rung...My absolute favorite was lamb chops, rare. Old fella commented me one time, Mr you sure know how to eat lamb, as I’m gnawing on the bone. Fond memories ... Seems the dinner price was around $6-7, only item I saw missing was a plate of green onions, peppers and salami.
    Incidentally at that time, the railroad ran through the area that is now the large parking lot.

    I think I like Elko the best out of the Nevada towns you were at. I just got bad vibes on the other ones. The others seemed run down and disorganized. When you walked in the Star, The people had a hometown look. It gave me the notion that I would yell out, "Howdy!" as I entered. The food there looked interesting. Spaghetti seemed out of place, among the other things that seemed out of place. Had to look up Basque, which is too much to explain here. Noted in the diet is Lamb, fish and beans which you have shown with your meal.

    Joke I made about Winnemucca 2018 on my way to Elko.
    "Where it is still 1966, and will aways be 1966" (I will keep my day job)
    My high school friend lives in Elko, and I visit every few years.
    Fishing is actually pretty good if you know where to look

      Shot gun houses are long narrow houses.They get their name because supposedly one can shoot a shotgun through the front door and it will go out the back door.It's a straight shot.

    Why didn't you go to the Ruby Mountains? They're right there, and quite beautiful.
