Name: Fruited Tongue
Ingredients: 4 lb Beef tongue; 2 ts Salt; 8 Gingersnaps; 1/4 c Brown sugar; 1/2 c Seedless raisins; 6 Prunes; seeded and chopped; 6 Whole cloves; 6 Whole allspice

What irony that sinners consider the greatest problem they face in this world to be the problem of pain. The ultimate insult against God is that man thinks he has a problem of pain. Man, who deserves to be plunged into hell at this moment, and is indescribably fortunate that he is breathing normally, complains about unhappiness. Instead of falling on his knees in the profoundest possible gratitude that God holds back His wrath and infinite fury, the sinner shakes his fist in heaven’s face and complains against what he calls “pain.” When he receives his due, he will look back on his present condition as paradisiacal. What he now calls misery, he will then consider exquisite pleasure. The most severe torment anyone has ever known in this life will seem like heaven in comparison with one moment of the full fury of the divine Being.
