"Tongues.
If your tongue is a dry one, soak it in water all night; but if a pickled one, only wash it well, and put it in cold water; (the dry one will take three hours boiling, the pickled one two hours and a half) when it is done peel the skin and cut the outside of the root off, put it in a dish, and garnish with carrots and sprigs of greens, or whole turneps sic boiled."

Well, apparently your tongue may be ONLY dry or pickled. Furry, forked, pierced, or still attached ones, according to this text, I surmise, are not permitted.
