Neb. meatpacker recalls 33,000 lbs. of beef tongue

OMAHA, Neb. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture says a Nebraska meatpacker has recalled 33,000 pounds of beef tongue.

The agency announced in a news release Thursday that inspectors discovered the tonsils had not been completely removed from the tongues processed by J.F. O'Neill Packing Co. of Omaha.

Tonsils are a specified risk material for mad cow disease and are required to be removed from cattle of all ages.

The USDA says the recall, which involves tongues packed from July 1 through Oct. 8, represents a low risk to human health.

The beef was shipped primarily to distribution centers in Nebraska and California.

Each recalled case bears the establishment number "EST. 889A" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Tongue is actually quite tasty if you cook it right.

The risk they are talking about is small though, the cow would have to have BSE first, and then you would have to eat the tonsils (which you wouldn't normally, that stuff would get trimmed off).

don't even need to grind it. just simmer it in some seasoned water (bay leaf, mustard seeds, celery seeds, black pepper corns, garlic, salt) for a long time, skin it, slice it thin and eat it on a toasted piece of pumpernickel rye with a horseradish sauce and some mellow sauer kraut!!!!

Or pump it full of brine and leave in the fridge for a few days to corn / pickel and then repeat process outlined above.

Seemingly, just about everyone in the world except Americans.  Or at least younger Americans, some of the old-school folks I know eat them.
