Linda was bringing home her new boyfriend to meet her folks for the first time. 

Her mom knew that Linda was so in love with this guy, and she wanted to make a good impression on him so she prepared all these down-home type dishes.

As dinner progressed, things were going well, and although the boyfriend didn't have a clue what some of the food was, he balked only once, at a platter piled high with cow tongue. 

He politely declined, saying he didn't want to eat anything that came out of an animals mouth. 

Linda's dad picked up another dish and blurted out, "Well, pass him the eggs then."
