Tongue showed up frequently on the menu when I was growing up in the British Midlands but I don't believe I have had it since about 1958.

 

Your post has brought back memories for me, too. Saturday night dinners in Scotland in the late 50s and early 60s tended to be tongue sandwiches or, at least, that's how I remember it. Haven't eaten it for decades either. I remember liking it a lot.

I have seen unprocessed beef and pig tongues in the local market but you seem to have to buy a whole one, then go through the palaver of skinning it etc. For someone who lives alone, it may not be an option. Sadly.

Now I am surrounded by duck's tongues!
