When being a college football head coach, you are going to have to have meals with the family of the player you will be recruiting.

During ESPN's Playbook questionnaire, they asked SEC coaches on what was the weirdest meal they were ever served.

LSU Tigers coach Les Miles gave his memory, saying he had to try cow tongue during one of his recruiting visits.

“I had cow tongue,” Miles said. “It was a dessert, and it was in Louisiana. It was pickled. And it looked just like a cow tongue. In fact, it was cow tongue and cow lips, for that matter. Everybody took a little sliver. Kind of chopped it up good. And… it tasted pretty good. It really wasn’t all that bad. It was kind of a little briny. But, you know, I kind of enjoyed it.”

Interesting stuff, Les.
