loads of times, when in its natural state its covered in hairs....not very pretty. Then the thought of slicing it across the tounge itself makes feel queasy...strange..

Talking

Cold Tongue is absolutely the very best acompaniment to the finest Claret, bar none. It has the consistency of a cross between corned beef and ham and tastes far better than either.

Buy it for the missus to use if you are away on business. Apparently if you connect it to a power supply it twitches due to the nerves.

in case someone wants to cook

Boiled Beef Tongue (basic recipe)

INGREDIENTS

1 beef tongue
6 peppercorns
4 whole cloves
1 tablespoon vinegar

METHOD

A 4-pound tongue serves 12. Fresh, corned, or smoked tongues may
be used. Corned or smoked tongues are improved by soaking in cold
water for several hours before cooking.

Scrub tongue under running water. Place in a deep kettle. Add
seasonings and boiling water to cover.

Boil 10 minutes, then simmer 3 to 5 hours, or until a
fork will penetrate readily to the center.

Let the tongue remain in the water until it is cool enough to
handle. Reserve two cups of the cooking liquid.

Peel the tongue. Cut out membraneous portions of roots. Press
into shape for serving. Serve hot with raisin sauce, or
horseradish, or slice and serve cold.


Sweet And Sour Tongue

INGREDIENTS

1 cooked tongue
1 stick cinnamion
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves
1 tablespoon cooking fat
1/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups hot tongue liquid
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice of one lemon
1 tablespoon almonds, finely chopped.

Peel and slice cooked tongue. Brown onion slightly in hot fat. Remove onion
and set aside.

Stir flour into hot fat and cook 3 minutes. Gradually add
hot tongue liquid and salt and simmer gently until smooth and
thickened, about 5 minutes.

Add browned onions, almonds, cinnamon, cloves and raisins. Mix
well.

Blend together the brown sugar, molasses, and lemon juice and
stir into the mixture. Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring
constantly. If desired, add more salt, sugar, and lemon juice to
taste.

Add sliced tongue and simmer till heated through.

Serve hot, with sauce.

I have eaten beef tongue & pig's tongue, they're all very nice once u get over the notion it isn't the normal parts u eat.
Pig's tongue is actually very tender, & beef tongue as a cold cut is a very good wine accompliment.

Used to eat it regularly when I was younger. I've not any for quite a while, but I recall that it was quite nice.

Nowhere near as popular as it was, although when you see it raw it's not that surprising.

bought and prepared it several times as per the quoted recipe.

The key seems to be to press it, as stated, then it looks nothing like tongue, more like a ham.
