As I've related many times, in the 50s, Swift & Co gave away the "trim" bits which even included ribs. In the part of Illinois between Belleville and East St Louis, almost every intersection had a cinderblock and window screen BBQ joint run by some older Black man and featuring ribs and snoots. Those old men cooked trim over hickory wood low and slow, and you would roll your eyes back at the first taste of it. St Louis style BBQ is hickory smoked with a thick, sweet tomato sauce applied heavily before, during, and after cooking.
For employees like my Dad, ribs, tongue, calf brains, kidneys, liver, cheeks, and pork snoots were free for the taking. He never did bring home any snoots (that's noses for the snobbish among you) but I grew up on all the rest of that. I genuinely pity anyone who who has such food aversions that they turn their snoots up at such fare. You really have no clue at what you are missing.
And yet many who claim to not be snooty turn theirs up at hot dogs.
Ewwww....they put tongues and snoots in those things!
Azzholes too!
That can't be true. As many hot dogs as are produced, if it were true there couldn't possibly be that many here at the 'fire.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
There used to be a guy who camped near us every moose season. Whenever anyone would bring a moose into camp he would stroll over and cut the tongue out. One evening I decided to stroll over and see what he was doing with them and he opened my eyes to how good they are. boiled and skinned, then sliced up and dipped in a little spicy mustard.

The price of tongue is high now, about ten bucks an lb.
