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.
