Answer 4

I have seen whole sliced toungue wrapped and put out for sale in some supermarkets.  Disgusting!

Answer 5

heads of veal are sold to countries where he head is considered a delicacy.  Adult head are butchered just like the rest of the animal.  Sometimes the tongue is removed and sold separately.  Most of the bones, brains and the unpalatable organs are simmered in a broth.  Anything not made into broth is made into dog food.

Answer 6

The tongue is sold as a separate item.   Certain poorer countries skin the head and remove the face muscles to eat.  (Quite nice actually, had it in Italy).   The bones are then steamed until all traces of meat are removed.  This is used for cheaper sausages and as a previous answer suggested, Spam.  The brain can be removed and used to be eaten as a delicacy.  However, since the BSE scare, it together with spinal cord and certain offal are destroyed..........
