Tounge for food:
The tongues of some animals are consumed and sometimes considered delicacies. In America and the United Kingdom, cow tongues are among the more common. Hot tongue sandwiches are frequently found on menus in Kosher delacacies in America. In the United Kingdom tongue can often be found at the local grocer, where it is often sold in reformed slices of meat after being ground up and set in gelatine. Taco de lengua(lengua being Spanish for tongue) is a taco filled with beef tounge, and is especially popular in Mexican cuisine. Tongue can also be prepared as birria. Duck tongues are sometimes employed in Szechuan dishes, while lambs tongue is occasionally employed in Continental and contemporary American cooking. Fried codtongue is a relatively common part of fish meals in Norway.
Tounge facts:
The four types of papillae or tastebuds:
filiform(thread-shape)
fungiform (mushroom-shape)
circumvallate (ringed-circle)
foliate (leaf-shape)
The tongue receives its blood supply primarily from the lingual artery a branch of the external carotid artery. The floor of the mouth also receives its blood supply from the lingual artery.
There is also secondary blood supply to the tongue from the tonsiller branch of the facial artery and the ascendingpharyngeal artery.
The average lenght of the tounge from the oropharynx to the tip is 10 cm
Tongue rolling is the act of rolling the tongue axially into a tube shape. The ability to roll the tongue has been generally believed to depend on genetic inheritance.

Functions of the tounge:
Speaking, eating, pushing food around, making words, pushing food into the throat
Parts of the tounge:
Frenulum- a membrane that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. The base of your tongue is firmly anchored to the bottom of your mouth, so it is impossible to swallow your toung
Papille- your tongue is covered with a layer of bumps called papillae. Papille help grip food and move it around while you chew. They contain your taste buds. As a person ages, some of his or her taste buds die. That's why some foods may taste stronger to you than they do to an adult. Taste buds can detect sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavors.
Microvilli- microscopic hairs that send messages to the brain, which interprets the signals and identifies the taste for you. Cold affects taste however, making tastes weaker.
