Beef tongue is so well known and liked that it needs no praise. A beef tongue, if lightly corned for a few days or a week, is much improved in flavor. Simmer until tender, then cool in its own liquor after skinning, and it may be served in hundreds of ways. For those who like a sweet sauce raisin sauce is a great favorite.

- 1 quarter of a teaspoonful of ginger
- juice of half a lemon
