Mrs Sherman's parents escaped Stalin in Russia, and some old family recipes were, um, "interesting." We had tongue sandwiches for lunch one afternoon. It was actually pretty good after I stopped thinking about how I was chewing on a cow's tongue and paid attention to the flavor.

I'm guessing that folks that eat ribs and bacon are not terribly concerned with mixing milk and meat.

I had tongue a couple of times when on a boat in the Amazon. It was very tasty. It's the texture that gets me. I'll eat it if it's placed in front of me, but I wouldn't ever ask for it. Maybe in a sandwich the texture wouldn't bother me as much.
