Tongue anyone? Heck – the French love it :)

So I got a funny story.   Once in France I went into a Butcher Shop.  I saw this sign on one of the items that translated as ‘language’ or ‘langue’ in French.  I thought ‘Why is the word language on that strange looking piece of meat?”  OH SHIT!!  I exclaimed ‘it means TONGUE”  hehe

The word ‘tongue’tongue is from Old English ‘tunge’ and as in French can also mean ‘language’

Here’s a cool recipe:    http://thecuriouscoconut.com/blog/how-to-cook-beef-tongue
