Oklahoma Recipes (Murphy, Terlton, May: health, house, oil)

[Schousse]

Beef tonue in a sour cream sauce is divine. So are cod tongues, a delicacy in Newfoundland. Rocky mountain oysters are yummie.

When we open our minds there are things out there that are realy good!!!!

[Goodpasture]

I always liked tongue simmered in a herb broth, sliced thin and served hot on wheat bread with mayo and dill pickles.........

Man, those sound disgusting. Recipes that were born out of a dare or something..

[Goodpasture]

Recipes that were born out of a desire to not waste anything.

How about the next topic, we talk about favorite head cheese recipes?

I like this one:

Head Cheese (Souse)

Head cheese is a home-style product which developed as a means to use all of the variety meat generated by home slaughter. Many people like it as a luncheon meat or a snack item.
Ingredients

• 10 lbs. head meats, tongue, heart, feet or other meats
• (1 cup) 6 oz. fresh onions
• (5 oz.) 5 oz. cider vinegar (5%)
• (5 Tbs.) 2.4 oz. salt
• (2 1/2 Tbs.) 0.8 oz. white pepper
• (2 Tbs.) 0.35 oz. marjoram
• (1 1/2 Tbs.) 0.6 oz. sugar
• (1 1/2 tsp.) 0.1 oz. black pepper to taste (if desired)
• (1 cup) 3.0 oz. chopped pickle (optional)

Clean head thoroughly, removing all hair and scruff; skin out snout and lower jaw and remove jaw bones. Cut remaining portion of head into large pieces and place in large container for cooking. The tongue, heart and feet (properly cleaned) may also be included if desired. Cook until the bones can be easily removed, drain and save broth. Debone and grind meat through ¼-inch plate. Large pieces may be cut into squares instead of grinding. Chop or grind onions and add with vinegar and spices to ground meat. Mix thoroughly and add back cooking broth to make a slurry. Fill into containers of desired size and shape and chill. Resulting product is usually served cold. Keep refrigerated.

Of course my sisters who were about 8 and 9 years old promptly said EWWWW, and ran away. Not me. I sat next to him and we enjoyed eating raw tongue. I was about 3 or 4 years old.

Indians around here used to eat raw kidneys too!

This reminds me of that TV show called bizarre foods or something like that. Its all cultural as to what we find distasteful.

That's done on " DANCES WITH WOLVES". or is that the heart?

[Goodpasture]

When it's buffalo or deer or elk, it is the liver. If it is a formidable enemy, then eating the heart will "share" their power with you. At least that is what I have heard....never did it myself. From what I understand, After the Little Bighorn, Tom Custer's heart was eaten by the warriors of the Lakota, because of his extraordinary bravery. Tom Custer was General Geo Armstrong Custer's little brother, and one of the few men to receive two Congressional Medals of Honor.

lololol, you got that right.

[peggydavis]

Oh, I think the recipe was born from the need to use every part of the hog for food, and not waste anything. Hot dogs are probably made from the same parts.

[Synopsis]

Hogs are magical animals; Homer Simpson said so when Lisa started telling him all of those meats that he craved were from one animal...
