When I was a little kid, I helped my mother prepare for a small dinner gathering one day. I remember chopping olives and mixing in cream cheese. I also remember being grossed out when she pulled out this beef tongue and simmered it on the stove for a few hours and peeled off the skin. The next morning I saw there were a few platters of goodies left over. One of them was the absolute best tasting and most tender ham I had ever eaten, or so I thought. I really enjoyed it. It changed my life. The first one I ever saw as an adult, I bought and cooked. It is one thing, like scrapple, that I am the only fan of in the house. I think it was a beef tongue corning in the basement fridge that got that fridge the nick name "forensics lab" and is usually uttered with a rolled eye.
