I am a tongue ignoramus; I know nothing about them

But underneath there is a join-y bit & either side a lumpy bit

One of my lumpy bits has an ulcer the size of a ....oh hell I don't know maybe 6mm across

You see? I need vocabulary

Of course, it's one of your five a day (along with Terry's chocolate orange, some 7up, a packet of crisps and strawberry ice cream!)

It was homemade with real lemons Wink

Most of that has dairy so I'll stick with the LMP as I'm not supposed to eat it

If yours look like the photo, those look like salivary gland stones popping out. Go and see your GP!

It is a blockage in m salivary gland - but probably not a stone

Whoever suggested sucking a lemon has got the treatment spot on (apparently)

Did I say ew?
