Lark's Tongue with Anchovy Relish

• Mentioned In: 1.07 - Inn Trouble
• This Kora's Inn menu item was one of many that the Shepherds attempted to order before being convinced by Hercules to get chicken salad.

Lark's tongue is a delicacy dating back to the days of Ancient Rome. Possibly because the number of lark's tongues needed to prepare a sufficient amount for a group, it is listed as a holiday dish.
