    1. Soak the tongue in water for half an hour, then scrape off any grit with a knife. Put it in a pot and bring to a boil; drain that first water, cover with fresh water, and simmer for about 2.5–3 hours, adding salt in the last 30 minutes. Test it with a knife — if the blade slides in easily, the meat is done. Let it cool, then cut it into thin strips. 2. Peel the casing off the ham and cut it into small sticks. 3. Wash the tomatoes and dice them. 4. Hard-boil the eggs and cool them in cold water. Peel and grate them, or chop finely. 5. Drain the corn in a sieve. 6. Cut the cheese into cubes. Toss all the ingredients together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mound the salad on a plate and garnish with corn and pomegranate seeds.
