SHORT TALK ON MEATS.
BEEF TONGUE— should be nice and red if fresh. It should
also bear the government stamp, which shows that it has been prop-
erly inspected.
A beef tongue, in healthy condition, has a portion of its surface
covered with papillae; this is a rough surface made up of tactile
corpuscles or nerve-endings, and extends 1-3 of the length of the
whole tongue. The root of the tongue is very thick and is bulb-like
in form.
The average weight of a beef tongue is four to five pounds.
Most beef tongues on the market have been cured in saltpeter.
It is not easy to get a fresh one (i. e. from a freshly killed creature),
but it is better and less expensive to do so if possible.
Also try to get a tongue which has not been cooked. The cooked
tongues are sold in delicatessen shops, and of course are more expen-
sive.
Wash the tongue with a brush, using cold water; NEVER allow
it to soak.
NEVER prick it in cooking. Cook the tongue until tender, i. e:
when the outer skin begins to peal. Always skin the tongue when
HOT.
Boil it rapidly the first 15 minutes in boiling water, then boil it
slowly for 4 or 5 hours.
The price of beef tongue ranges from 15c to 24c a lb.
In class we prepared it as a jellied tongue, i. e. set in aspic jelly.
BONES FOB ASPIC JELLY, etc. : Chicken bones or veal bones
are used to make aspic jelly; anything that will make a good, solid,
white stock may be used.
