That’s fascinating from a food history angle.
For some reason I burst out laughing at the half ton of onions.

My mother used to buy a tongue from the butcher and cook it, mainly to put on sandwiches. I haven't eaten meat for years but I must admit I used to like it as a child, it was quite tasty"8 cases tongue"
i've eaten gizzard, neck, and liver, lots of liver, but never tongue. nor brain.
at least they didn't have eye.
