LOL! I used to know an old farmer down on the Bay Hundred in Maryland who always carried around a dried beef tongue in his pocket to snack on, while he did his chores.
He offered me a taste once, but I just couldn’t get past the looks of it.
My husband, who likes a lot of those weird ‘innards’, balks at tongue: he always says that he just can’t eat something that can ‘taste him back’ :-)
Tongue, all of it, is displayed in most NYC delis. I think it is very popular among Jews and possibly other ethnic groups.
