Moose tongue is good, but it's just food compared to caribou tongue. And things can't be much simpler than how we do it. After removing the tongue with two simple cuts right beneath the lower jaw, the tongue is washed well and then sliced perpendicular to its length. It helps if it has been cooled a bit so that the fat has firmed (and it is wonderfully fat, which is probably why it's so yummy!) The 1/4 inch slices are then fried in their own fat in an iron skillet. A sprinkle of salt, seasoned or plain, is all that gets added. Unlike bigger tongues, caribou tongue has rather light skin and doesn't need to be removed.
