Are you freaked out by the thought of munching on a once-beating chicken heart? Does it turn your stomach to chow down on one that belonged to a cow before it made your plate?

Her lamb’s tongue with green beans and green sauce recipe—shared as part of Rosie Birkett’s new book on proper East End cooking—will convert you.

After a forkful of these deliciously tender slivers, smothered in a herby dill and parsley sauce, you’ll be left speechless. Cat got your … oh, you know the rest.
