**how things used to be in the Church**
In pre-Vatican days, only the "Body of Christ" was offered in the form of the host at Communion.

...Like at the Last Supper when the Eucharist was instituted :-)
Actually, what I really like is that I've heard of priests dipping the host into the wine and then placing it in people's mouths. Not only does this remove unnecessary Extraordinary Minsiters who would normally distribute the wine seperately, but also forces people to receive on the tongue, as its supposed to be done, and it is more in line with the Last Supper, in which Christ dipped the bread and then gave it to the Apostles.
