I do like tongue and have been considering deer tongue for a while. How was it compared to pig’s tongue? Any advice?1st attempt at boiled red stag tounge. Boiled for 90 mins, dropped in an ice batch for 2 mins, peeled and sliced. Served with some mango chutney. No too shabby for a wee shared starter with the boys .

To be honest , I`m not entirely sure of the comparisson. I can recall as a youngster having sliced tounge and jelly in school sandwiches , but have no idea of the animal it came from.I do like tongue and have been considering deer tongue for a while. How was it compared to pig’s tongue? Any advice?
Yes, that will have been pork or pig”s tongue. You can still get it on the deli counter in supermarkets. It was my youngest”s favourite food growing up.To be honest , I`m not entirely sure of the comparisson.

I`m not even sure if you can still buy tounge in UK butchers anymore !
For sure it readily available here in the Basque Country.

The top ones are some rye multi seed sourdough loaves I made last week, the bottom ones are some German black rye loaves, also sourdough, that I made as presents for various deserving folk.
I’ve currently got a few more on the go at present, they will be ready for the weekend . I thought it good to add a little meat free food to the thread for balance.
Kindest regards, Olaf
