Food Friday: Sheep's Tongues with Tomato Sauce

Today's recipe for Sheep's Tongues with Tomato Sauce comes from a California community cookbook published in 1907. San Anselmo Cook - Book by the Ladies of the Saint Anselm's Church.

A search on the Internet shows that this church still exists and was actually founded in 1908, the year of the publication of this cookbook. Perhaps this cookbook helped raise the funds necessary for their new building which cost over $21,000.  This cookbook includes pages of advertising from businesses in this, then, new community. St. Anselm's website is here and you can read more about their history here.
