[Sca-cooks] tongue and almonds -- a marzipan tongue?

[johnna holloway]

You might try a shop that custom butchers beef
for the home freezer and ask about the beef tongues.
Or USDA has local offices. Call and ask.

We used to buy almonds (when I was really active)
in 25 pound bags from a wholesaler of natural foods.
They were headed for the supermarket bins where you
measure them out by the pound in the little plastic
sacks. Check with some wholesale distributors.
(We froze what we didn't use at once.)
