Cook everything from scratch. Have a jar of pickled pigs feet in fridge now. And tongue on porch in crock. and a brisket (corned beef) But ooo was really funny finding saltpeter. Tried different drug stores and ...First had to explain to a YOUNG man what it was...was then I couldn't help myself...told him it had also been used waaay back when in prisions and army (till they revolted) As it can cause erection disfunction. Well after he crossed his legs. I broke up. Then I finally found it at another drug store...and had to sign for it!!! And got three sheets of instructions with it...NONE of which pretained to pickling. Druggest said they had to vet everyone now...as it is used in bomb making??? He gave me some but as we laughed I said it my pickled tongue and corned beef blew out the porch??? would my insurance cover it.?? Dah...two tablespoons won't blow anything up except maybe I should watch out for intestinal gas?? lol lol I have been pickling for 30 years. I am 65 yr old Irish grandma. lol Ain't blown anyone up yet. Oh and this is a good recipe...but I sometimes let mine go a good two weeks with no problems. Depends on salt etc. I can usually tell by taste of brine. And I like more hot peppers in mine. Edit as you will. Good basic recipe.

Thank for reading and commenting. I would suspect that after smoking, the resulting flavor is something similar to pastrami? We will make sure to check out James Beard’s Appetizer book, thanks for the tip! @Lobsterchurch Hi! Thank for reading and commenting.

Wow, really amazing, it was like smoked ham. Made sandwiches on rye bread with swiss cheese & coarse ground mustard. Really good. James Beard's Appetizer book mentions tongue several times. That inspired me to do a little internet and that lead me your site. Thanks I used your brining recipe with the pink salt included but instead of boiling I smoked the tongue in a smoker.

It should be a requisite to grow your own vine of tomato once in a life time. We try to stay away from buying fresh tomato unless in season. Factory farming has taken the flavor out of the tomato.

My dad butched his own cows, pigs chickens and rabbits. my mother cooked everything. We ate headcheese, pickled cow tougue, blood sausage and beer rabbit. My own sons don"t even like tomatos!

Perhaps you can make one at home? :) Do you have a good botcher to source lamb tongue from?
