The Tongue Cutters: In Norway, Kids Cut Cod Tongues for Love and Money

In the fishing villages of Norway, kids as young as five enter
the workforce as professional cod tongue cutters. Documentary
filmmaker Solveig Melkeraaen tells us why kids slice up this
delicacy, plus we meet former tongue cutter Ylva Melkeraaen
Lundell, who explains how she mastered this skill—and how
lucrative this job can be. Also on the show: Journalist Kenji
Hall embarks on a quest across Japan to find the world’s best
rice; Adam Gopnik goes to the movies; and we dress up a steak
salad with pomegranate molasses and goat cheese. (Originally
aired June 3rd, 2022.)
