Oh yeah, tongue sandwiches the next day! Mom made ours with mayo and a little ketchup (and of course wrapped in wax paper.) Absolutely delicious.I need to talk to my butcher! I remember tongue sandwiches on whole wheat bread, Boetje’s mustard, a little mayo. That’s a long term memory, to say the least! These were just simmered, not smoked.
The last steer we had butchered I asked the slaughterhouse to save the tongue; unfortunately they didn't. They're so used to tossing them because no one wants tongue any more.It is so expensive lately, I saw it on sale for $10.99 here in the Central Valley of CA
Too true! Oxtails, liver, kidneys etc were a regular in our house growing up. Usually when the household budget was low and pay-day was a few days away.Oxtails, shanks , soup bones, neck bones you used to be able to get for next to nothing..
Not anymore.
