A cat tongue is a small biscuit (cookie) or chocolate bar available in a number of European, Asian, and South American countries.
[9] In the Canary Islands, cat's tongue cookies are served with bienmesabe, a dessert dish.
[12] The first Cat tongue (Macskanyelv) was made in Budapest by the Swiss-born Hungarian patissier Emil Gerbeaud in the late 1880s.
[14] Chocolate cat tongues have also been in production elsewhere since before 1900; the Austrian company Küfferle (now owned by Lindt & Sprüngli) has been producing them since 1892.
Elsewhere in Europe, companies including Sarotti, Hachez and Halloren make cat tongues.
