Samaštrani jezik is an old Croatian dish originating from Split. It's prepared with fresh beef tongue which is combined with a mixture of salt, coriander, and garlic, and it's then left pressed under a weight for a few days up to a week. After that, it's cooked with root vegetables in a broth until it softens. The tongue is thinly sliced and served cold, usually accompanied by a sauce made with horseradish, apples, and capers. This dish is especially popular on Christmas and New Year's Eve, but it's rarely offered in local resturants. During winter, it's occasionally served at a place called Oštarija kod Viđakovih.
