Beef parts

We bought 1/2 a beef from a neighbor. My wife wanted the tongue, liver, and tail. No thanks on all three. It is probably good meat. I just don't want to eat it. Maybe liver? My Mother growing up on a farm in ND. said when they butchered an animal they made blood pudding. Anyone hear of that? I guess that delicacy didn't make it out west. Any parts any of you don't eat?.

ith hot dog/wiener, there are probably zero parts un-eaten. :cry:
 
My mother would pressure cook the tongue, peel the outer layer and then grind the meat with a hand grinder, mix in pickle relish, mayo and spices much like one would make ham salad, it was pretty tasty.

No better flavor then ox tail soup when it comes to a beef soup.
 
I remember hearing about blood pudding, but I dont think we ever made it at home. Dad and my uncles did all the butchering on the farm when I was a kid and I can tell you not much went to waste! I could never eat liver sausage or cow tongue. My mom used to cook cow brain with scrambled eggs and bacon, I remember that being pretty good stuff.
 
I grew up in a family that wasted very little, especially when it came to food. We had a Holstein dairy farm and, of course, that's what we ate for meat. We ate the liver, (I love liver and onions, but my wife doesn't), tongue, heart, and the big delicacy was the brains which were fried up on a skillet. The tongue was boiled, peeled, salted, and then used as a sandwich meat. As a very small kid, we made blood sausage, but that stopped right before I was in the teens. However, I know of about 4-5 local families that get together and butcher and they still make the blood sausage. When you think about it, it's probably not as bad as the $.99/lb. hot dogs that some people buy.
Worldwide, the mad cow disease changed some eating habits.
 
Lengua (cow tongue) tacos are good. My 12yo son likes them. A Hispanic friend of mine says the only part of the cow most Hispanics don't eat is the moo. Because they can't catch it. Lol
 
My grandmother used to make oxtail goulash (stew for you guys that don't know what goulash is). I liked that. Local butcher used to have blood & tongue sausage that she liked as a coldcut on a sandwich. That I didn't like. Anybody know what sultz is? My grandparents made that when a pig was butchered but I never experienced it as they stopped raising pigs before I was born.
 
Had to go look that one up. Google says sultz is also know as pig jello. Thats all I needed to know to add it to my thanks but no thanks list!
 
I would be glad to have all three! When I was a kid we had that stuff all the time--part of my German heritage. The blutwurst (blood sausage) was made with pork blood.
 
Timmycornpicker, sultz sounds like the same thing the Volga-German people of the Hays Kansas area call Galrei. It's made by boiling pork hocks till the meat falls off the bone then shredding the meat and adding pepper salt and vinegar to taste then placing this in a pan and pouring the juice they were cooked in and then chilling this. It turns into a stiff jell, probably not real healthy but sure is good.
 
Heard my Aunt talking how they took a hog to the locker to get butchers and she told them to save the head so she could make headcheese.

All a matter of perception, some say blood sausage is gross and they would never eat it.

Then they go and order themselves a rare steak with warm blood still leaking out of it and tell you how great it is.
 

scrapple from Maryland makes a great breakfast sandwich, they tell me it is made with corn meal and left over pig parts.

A story that I remember;

A fancy woman asked an old timer what was his favorite cut of meat. He said the tongue was his favorite. She exclaimed that she could never eat something that came out of a cow's mouth! He asked her if she'd ever eaten an egg.
 


My maternal grandfather was Quebecois French. Blood pudding/sausage was a staple for him. Never tired it myself.
