My Swiss cooking magazine, as luck would have it, has a recipe this month for sweetbread soup with a kind of cabbage and bacon. Apparently you can buy it from the butcher cleaned and cooked. Who knew?
Mary I, too, am not a fan of offal although sweetbreads and tongue were regulars in my home while growing up....I just couldn't do it. I am now saved from having to be an adult and trying them because of high cholestrol...who would have thought I would be grateful for high cholestrol. ilene

This is the recipe I used for Basque Style Pickled Tongue
Marinade:
I make this up the day before in a jar so that it can blend:
1/2 cup white wine or rice vinegar
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 TBsp. chopped fresh chives
3 TBsp. chopped fresh parsely
2 minced garlic cloves*
Shake and place in fridge, until meat is sliced.
One Beef tongue, drained of blood, rinsed and patted dry. Salt and pepper. Place in Dutch oven with:
1 sliced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
Cover with water and bring to boil, then lower heat to simmering for 3 1/2 hours +/-. ( I used an old restaurant plate to weigh it down to keep it submerged.) Remove from pot, and refrigerate until cool. Peel the skin, and slice as thin as possible without shredding. (I use the meat slicer for this.)
Alternate layers of sliced tongue with some of the marinade until it's completely covered; refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.

Many, many thanks for this. I am of the old school that believes there is no such thing as TOO much garlic! One of two tongues is now thawing. I hope to take it to a wine tasting marathon this Sunday

If the people on this board all had two tongues there would be no silence left in the world.
