Yep, tongue too. Mexican chorizo is typically what they make of what is
left of the pig after they've taken everything else. And so what? It's all
food and it all is edible. You eat liver, intestines, kidneys, heart etc.
Why not lymph and salivary glands? Heck in Thailand they eat pickled uterus
and even the pancreas is considered a delicacy. You can buy chorizo in
stores that are labeled as made from choice cuts only, so if it offends you,
look for that type. The genuine article though is made from scraps.

Food prejudice is silly. Did you know that as recently as the Great
Depression, lobster was considered food fit only for the poor? It was
formerly fed to slaves in the South because it was considered unfit for any
other purpose.
