Re: seedling mulch NOW grits

Tongue!  I have this vivid recollection of when I was 10 and was at a
friend's house whose father was a butcher.  I came around the corner into
the kitchen and there was this big - I mean BIG -tongue hanging out over the
pot.  Scared the bejesus out of me.

Years later a friend had a somewhat elegant buffet and said the meat was
beef.  It was really disgusting.  Turned out to be tongue.
