Love it! Quirky, fun, get’s people talking (if only to say ‘bleurgh’. In the past, people would have cooked any part of an animal. BTW, I really can’t stomach tripe, but I love offal etc….
People are weird about these things. Especially Brits and Americans. If it’s not chicken/turkey, beef, pork or lamb, and a very limited range of parts of those, it’s “disgusting”.
You are quite right! I am English, but old fashioned English, brought up eating a wide variety of different foods, and expected to eat whatever was on your plate! Plus my mum discovered the books of Elizabeth David in the late 60s, so we ate all kinds of wonderful stuff!
Cow’s tongue is almost a staple dish in Russia. I had never tried it though (even tho my fam always had it for all the big gatherings) – it looked, um, unappetizing.
I’m all of using the entire animal, but yuck! The hypocrite in me would rather have it hacked up in a sausage!
I’ve seen pig snouts, but this is a new one.
Those would make really amusing slippers, perhaps as a prop in a comedy sketch. LOL… Or epaulets for Lada Gaga’s meat dress. But they might not pass the smell test.

Boston, MA Where we’re thinking, “Snout, the new white meat.”
All that remains to make my happiness complete is for you to bake a lovely and large penis-shaped cake. Any flavor will do, but it should contain a luscious creamy filling. Don’t forget to take photos. That way we can have our…ehhm… confection and eat it too;-)
Yuk. Yuk. Yuk. As with most Brits, I’m definitely a total hypocrite when it comes to meat – chicken and (normal) bits of pork or beef good, everything else bad. I’m going to dinner at an Italian friend’s house tomorrow and I’ve just texted her to let her know I don’t eat veal or rabbit (both dished up at previous dinners) but now I’ll have to send her a picture of these with a NO WAY message!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. Ok, that’s too much even for me.
