Oh, thanks for Googling that! I couldn't let my imagination go further
than brains. I don't know if I or many others could bear to prepare
something like that, nowadays. Nothing went to waste, did it? I do
remember my parents had a press for ox tongue. I used to like tongue, too.
It was lean.


During the wartime in the UK almost every rural household kept a pig or
three. Nothing went to waste as you rightly say. My mother used to say
everything of a pig is used except the squeak. She was very fond of
chitlings. I could never bring myself to eat them as they felt like thick
elastic bands in your mouth. I remember our small front room dominated by
the wooden salting trough laid out on the floor with half a pig in it. The
other half had to go to the butcher by law.
