This clue could be a double definition.

'cold meat' is the first definition.
'tongue' can be an answer for 'meat' (type of meat). I'm unsure of the 'cold' bit.

'that's english say' is the second definition.
(english is a kind of tongue)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tongue that I've seen before include "Flap under shoelaces" , "Part of body - language!" , "'Red lorry, yellow lorry', for example" , "manner of speaking" , "Language; part of shoe" .)
