Lengua, beef tongue. You eat this? Tell me about it.

Had some tongue in a few tacos last time I was in San Diego. It was really good. I didn't know it was tongue until after I ate it all.

 

I've had boudin and it's fkn disgusting. Not the same thing but I've drawn my line in the sand.

The way they're raving about this stuff I guess I need to try it.

 

Woman goes up to the meat counter in a store and asks the clerk, "what's that ugly thing you have in the case?"

The clerk replies, "that's a beef tongue."

The woman says, "ugh. That's disgusting. I don't want anything that's been in a cow's mouth. Gimme a dozen eggs, instead."

 

Very good, more beefy flavor than traditional cuts. Tough as there is no fat in the tongue, best sliced this, this is why its common in tacos. This white dude approves, in twist Im the one to introduce it to my Nigerian wife.

 

It's the only way my GF makes tacos in our house.

 

Growing up on a dairy farm and being around hundreds of cows - that would be a hard NO.

 

Who the F looks at a cows tongue and its like "yup, Im gonna eat it" is messed up.

 

Y'all gonna just let this softball float out there and not smack it out of the park?

Y'all slippin.

 

How about eel, squid, or raw fish? Yummy!

Then again, there is a culture that likes ... (nah, I better not).

 

Every culture before your soft ass came around.

 

Do you eat ham? If so, what about a pigs ass makes you lick your chops and want to eat it..IJS...

 

Actually, no. I'm like 1-2 steps away from no meat. I like well done steak and burgers.

 

You are not entitled to an opinion based on this post.
Once you cook tongue and peel the skin off, it is just another cut of beef. Treat it appropriately for its toughness and enjoy. We used to eat it as a kid since it was one of the cheaper cuts of beef. Now I think it has gone up substantially in price since it is trendy.

 

I've had it in tacos, it was just meh to me. But I'll try most anything once.

My family on both sides traces back to deep Georgia and Arkansas. I've eaten every kind of animal you can think of. Some I like, some i don't. A favorite of mine is bbq raccoon, caught in the country, not the trash pandas.
