"Before you say "ick" to tongue, ask yourself if you like brisket or corned beef. If your answer is yes, then you'll love the very pleasant, beefy flavor of tongue. This recipe combines an interesting melange of spicy flavors from the chilis combined with a touch of sweetness from the raisins to make this a neat dish. From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947."
