This is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere, so here is it... what the hell is a tongue sandwich made out of?
 
ya, I saw that. I guess what I'm getting at is, is that actually somethings tongue that they're suggesting be put into the sandwhich, or is it just the name of some kind of meat process?

no it's the actual tongue of a cow or chicken..usually smoked...hmm do chicken's have tongues? 😕
 
It is actually the tongue of a cow or a steer. It tastes quite good if you don't think about what it is.

Available at the Carnegie Deli near where I live and at other fine delicatessens.
 
Yep, here we make it with steer tongue. It's actually quite good, if sliced thinly. Best served with fresh horseradish.

There's even a joke about it: A guest in a restaurant asks for the waiter's recommendation. The waiter suggests a tongue sandwich, but the guest complains: "I won't eat anything that's already been in somebody else's mouth." The waiter replies: "Well, how about an egg sandwich then?"... 😛
 
I had a tongue sandwich. I thought it was very fatty and had a weird taste. Didnt like it at all. It was served deli style. :idontwann

now that is totally gross...how can you eat a sweet sheep? and yea i heard that chicken's have tiny tongues..i'm with BrightEyes here..i may hurl.. :xlime:
 
I have had beef tongue, honey baked and plain, and found it quite delicious so don't be turned off by the name. After all, people bake hams all the time and it is really a pig's butt.

My dear Izzy one of the delicacies of my country is cattle foetuses, towards the end of the pregnancy, when is almost born. Absolutely delicious. Very expensive however, you can only get it when the drought makes the pregnant cows die, so before they die they are sold, and a few foethuses are available if you like to get one.

Hmm, when I first read the subject, I instantly thought of kissing, mmm sorry :blaugh: :blush:

But yeah I've seen tongue being sold in the supermarket, disgusting, well thats my opinion anyways lol.
 
If you find a good Jewish deli, check the meat display. There can be no question that what you're seeing is actually a tongue. It looks every bit like a tongue- you can even see the little buds. I may be ill now. I haven't tried it, won't try it..so there. Like George Carlin says "it don't look good to me..you like it? you eat it."
 
When I was in Amsterdam, there was a little Jewish cafe that did the best bacon sandwich I'd ever had. I didn't actually realise the irony until after I left!

My dear mother is turning in her grave over this one! She loved her ham! :shock:
 
Deli style tongue

is beef tongue, cooked by smoking it over a wood fire and then pickled in salt brine with assorted spices. :devil2:
I like it on a combo sandwich with chopped chicken liver, on fresh rye bread, with sliced purple onions and Russian dressing; :veryhappy but only if I'm pretty sure I won't be kissing anyone in the next 48 hours! :cool2:
 
Odd.

All this time, I thought a tongue sandwich was just a lot of extra meat between two slices of bread.

I didn't actually take it LITERALLY!

Ah, the memories!

I'm having childhood flashbacks here!

My father used to work in a meat-packing plant when I was a kid. He would occasionally bring some interesting things home:

an ox tail-yes, one long whole tail!
bull horns
a roll of bologna
a cow tongue-you boil it with spices. When it's done, you slice and serve

Yeah, I know a bunch of you say it's gross, but you can acquire some interesting tastes when that's all that shows up on the table. I grew up in the day you didn't refuse what was put on your plate for pain of death! Probably why I'm such a picky eater now. But the tongue thing comes up every now and then, but I just go to the deli-no more of the boiled stuff!

Alright.

You have GOT to tell me how the Ox tail and bull horns were prepared for consumption! :jester:

Erm. Unless you're going to start your reply with either the words cake or pie.

Then I absolutely do NOT want to hear it. :shake:

My father had a twisted sense of humor (not wasted on his grandchildren btw). He'd bring this stuff to fascinate or gross us out! The oxtail you remove the skin, cut between the bones into pieces, and it's boiled with onions and spices and served it on rice. It's a popular soul food dish as well as in Jamaican (sp) cooking.

The bull horns were just something we got to hang on the bedroom door or wall for posterity!

Kis, we use to have calf brains, or backbone and cabbage every once in a great while. I know you had to have had hog fries or smelt dinners.
