Udder

Cow udder (elder in some older English texts) is mammary tissue occasionally used in historical European cookery—boiled, pressed, and sliced—or in very limited traditional dishes today. It is fatty, mild, and uncommon on modern retail counters. Texture depends on thorough cooking and pressing. It is rarely prized in contemporary restaurants; interest is mostly historical or hyper-local. Where used, long simmering and pressing produce sliceable meat for cold service or further frying. Not a substitute for muscle steaks.
