Before you say ick to tongue, ask yourself if you like brisket or corned beef. If your answer is yes then you'll love tongue, which has a very pleasant beefy flavor. Allow 1/4 to 1/2 pound of meat per serving. From the Michigan Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
Ingredients:
3 calf tongues
3 bay leaves
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon peppercorn
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

1. Place tongues, bay leaves, onion, peppercorns and salt in a stockpot; cover with water.
2. Cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
3. Remove the skin and root ends; cut in half lengthwise.
4. Strain liquid; add flour mixed with a little water and the horseradish.
5. Cook until smooth, stirring constantly.
