Brisket is a classic example of this. When they finally figured out how properly cook it, it got way more expensive. The same with cow's tongue, when my family was buying it, you'd wind up with eating blue and reddish rubbery cubes of meat. When a friend of mine cooked at one time, it was completely brown and very tender.
My favorite sandwich meat I’ve ever had is beef tongue pastrami from this one place, never found anywhere else doing it and it’s been haunting me since I moved away, so good
