Every week we bring you our favorite good eats from our friends at Serious Eats. This week there's a fascinating look at a very unlikely delicacy: ducks' tongues. Then there's gooey pumpkin butter cakes from Paula Deen herself, and a mess of delicious braised lentils with an egg on top. Read on for these and more!
• Paula Deen's Pumpkin Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes - A very promising name.
• The Nasty Bits: Duck Tongue - Bet you can't eat just one.
• Braised Lentils with Winter Greens and a Fried Egg - Healthy, tasty, filling, and warm.
• The Crisper Whisperer: Apple-Pear Sauce - A crowd-pleasing applesauce, made from the lunchbox rejects of soft apples and overripe pears.
• Eat for Eight Bucks: Simple Fennel Sausage with Lentil Salad - More lentils! They are really wonderful comfort food this time of year.

Duck tongue, ew, no thank you.
But, I have made the pumpkin gooey butter cakes before...they are a WONDERFUl alternative to pumpkin pie. They are best made in a glass pan.

I must say that I have not really evolved to the point in my culinary adventures to KNOWINGLY consume duck tongue. :p
Pumpkin butter cakes can certainly satisfy the void of not having any pumpkin pie. :)

I think I'd try duck tongue. It's not triggering my "OMG, getitaway!!!" reaction like the Octopus discussion up top has.

I bought a box of cake mix a few weeks ago for the first time in a LONG while, just in order to one of these days make a banana gooey cake (not much of a pumpkin person).

Oooh cake mix and an entire one pound box of powdered sugar. That's pure evil. I have a can of pumpkin in my pantry that I need to use.
