    I had a European friend complain that Americans are so egocentric that they call their music “Country Music.” He was also mad we put mayonaise on a pasta and call it a salad.

          TWO salads*

          Keep in mind that Fleischsalat is different from Wurstsalat. The main difference is that Fleischsalat is made with mayo to be creamy while Wurstsalat is made with a simple vinaigrette as the dressing.

            There’s also Ochsenmaulsalat which is basically just thinly sliced beef mouth with vinaigrette and onions.

              thinly sliced beef mouth

              I’ve never heard of “beef mouth” as a cut of meat. What meat is it from? Tongue, cheek, etc…

              I love beef cheek if it’s cooked right. Low and slow.

                And I’m not super familiar with cuts of the head but it’s gotta be check because tongue would be a different word.

                  It could be lips, also. I have seen beef lips in one of my local carnecerias (Mexican meat market).

                    That’s a rather strange word to use in the context of beef, because they don’t really have anything resembling human lips. Which part of this, exactly, would you consider “lips”?

                    I think mouth, or perhaps snout, is a more accurate description here. Anyways, that’s the picture I found on Wikipedia when I looked for more information on where this meat might come from. Apparently it can also include the inner parts of the mouth, however, not the tongue, that’s considered a separate cut.
