Where to buy beef heart and tongue?
I moved here from Germany and miss eating heart and tongue. I have seen it a couple times here and there, but would love recommendations where I can get good quality at a reasonable price.
Always interested in finding other German / European goodies, especially rye bread, so all tips are welcome.
Thanks!

After living in Germany for 4 years, I grew to love the German breads also. I usually get a sourdough rye found in the freezer at both Mississippi Markets in St. Paul. I think they're made by Dimpflmeyer in Canada, but have ingredient specifications from the French Meadow bakery in Minneapolis.

Here's a link to Dimpflmeier. When you see it in the coops, it does have the French Meadow packaging. I think their specifications are that the ingredients be organic and raised a certain way. Of course, there are about 6 or 7 varieties - even Leinsambrot. Good luck.

Welcome!
I don't know where you are located in the Twin Cities, but on the St. Paul side, there is a number of Asian supermarkets which offer a variety of -- er, variety meats. For example, Dragon Star (Dale and Minnehaha) seems to sell every part of the cow but the moo, and a lot of it is fresh-packed as far as I can tell (not frosted over several times because it's traveled more than a Delta frequent flyer). Ha Tien on University in St. Paul also seems to have a decent fresh-meat selection. El Burrito Mercado in West St. Paul sells tongue (lengua) for sure; maybe other variety meats as well.
As for good rye breads, I'm sure there are bakeries which fill the bill, but I'm not a bakery-goer. I'll let others make recommendations. For stores,I would recommend Kramarczuk's just north of downtown Minneapolis (on Hennepin; the neighborhood referred to as "Nordeast") and, on the St. Paul side of town, Kowalski's has a decent selection of imported breads (if my memory serves) and the Kiev Market sells Russian/eastern European breads largely imported from Chicago, but I've tried some and they are good, IMHO.
Let us know what you find!

I think that Everett's consistently has both in the freezer in the very sw corner of the store.
