50 Seriously Amazing And Weird Places You Never Knew Existed | History Daily
 
I could be wrong, but I believe they were selling beef brains. Back in the dark ages, the forties and earlier, people used to cook and eat such things. I know my grandparents did, along with pig hocks and lamb's tongues. Tripe (the lining of a cow's stomach) was often on the menu. I'm sure there were a few other delicacies which I've mercifully forgotten. You guys just might not remember when offal was eaten on a regular basis. BTW, some sausage and "other" foods are still made with pig intestines - oh, they rinse 'em out first before filling.

Food was even more interesting back in Medieval times.

hahahaha. In France they still do and it Turkey they make soup (not cow brains) of it...
 
Then there was the stuffed beef heart and then there were oxtails, made into soup in most cases, although I believe you can still buy those in the supermarkets of today, along with chicken feet.
 
My papaw ate squirrel brains until he died this year at age 95.I worked in meat at walmart tripe,oxtail and tongue were still sold. well they were on the shelf most got thrown away.

Beef tongue is really good, believe it or not. It comes from the cow. You boil it, then skin it and it tastes just like ham, only sweeter, better.

It looks like it would be awful chewy.We had to cut open the expired packages and dump the meat in a barrel for rendering we had this whole stomach lining that looked like a blanket but smelled like bleached butt.

There’s a fabulous street taco joint here in town that serves spicy beef tongue tacos. I’ve tried them. They’re really tasty — but I can’t get past the texture.

Beef tongue, once skinned isn't chewy at all, in fact it's very tender. If a body doesn't take off the THICK outter skin, it might be inedible.

I never found the texture hard to deal with, although it was more tender than we are used to. I was a "picky" kid who wouldn't eat much of anything "odd", but beef tongue was really good. I still cook it today, when I can find it.
 
Brains & eggs was on the (bi-weekly) menu of a little diner in my hometown. I always passed, opting for a grilled cheese.

Earlier this year I tried Bulgarian shkembe (tripe soup). It wasn't bad but I prefer soups without calf innards. *Of note, I wasn't plagued with a hangover but this soup is supposedly a remedy.
