    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.

            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.

              I’m nit entirely sure but when I saw the package of meat in the grocery store it said “beef lips” and had a stringy looking meat inside. I assume it is the lower lip since the upper seems too small for what I saw.
