I made two tongues this month - they came from a split beef purchase with the in-laws. They got the boring steaks (Tbones and such), and I got all the good stuff - tongue, liver, heart, brisket, spare ribs.Who'shadeaten cow tongue?
(Figured since this is INGO, I'd better be specific)
What's weird is that lingua is a premium at most taco joints. I don't know if it's the labor, or that raw material (i.e. the tongue) is more expensive.Ive heard its great on tacos.

I simmered them for three hours (which made my wife nauseous) *. Then easily peeled the skin off. Still had some slight bumps, but nothing too off-putting.
Half the of the tongue went into a stir fry with spicy fermented bean sauce, Szechuan peppercorns, and Chinese rice wine for a spicy dish (very good), and the other half got cubed for the best tacos I've ever made. Remember to cook them in hot skillet to get a crispy edge on them for tacos.
* well actually I simmered a pound and a half of chicken gizzards first, then cooked those, and simmered the tongue for later. I just slow simmered it with a mirpois and other aromatics. It made a really good stock for soups later on.
As for the gizzards, I did an experiment - half simmered for an hour to tenderize, and the other half went into buttermilk overnight. I much preferred the latter technique as the fried batter crust was better, and they had a more ... uh, raw flavor.

Heck, I’d be happy to get your leftovers through the kitchen window .
I'm going cook some this weekend; I think hot and fast is the best strategy since there's no connective tissue to breakdown.I actually talked Mom into cooking heart one time. IIRC (it's been a LONG time ago) it was basically like super lean beef.
You think Pepto is bad, Mom used to make me take Kaopektate. Just like liquid chalk, literally.I hate liver (but not Braunschweiger), rhubarb, and the taste of peptol bismal

Its been a long time but as I recall, when Kaopectate became necessary I wasn't too concerned with the taste! Both it and Pepto are not bad at all to me as far as the taste of medicine goes.You think Pepto is bad, Mom used to make me take Kaopektate. Just like liquid chalk, literally.
Ever taken that crap?
I like tongue, but not sure if I'd want to eat it if it came from a cow with two...I made two tongues this month - they came from a split beef purchase with the in-laws. They got the boring steaks (Tbones and such), and I got all the good stuff - tongue, liver, heart, brisket, spare ribs.
Many many years ago when I was but a wee lad, my grandma used to cook it. Grandpa always cut an inch off of the tip saying, "that's the booger picker part. Don't want to eat that!"It’s freaking delicious!
Ozzy style! Oh wait... that was bats.Once tried Ge Zi Tou (pigeon's head), beak and everything. Wasn't horrible but I wouldn't do it again...
I haven’t had it for years. If I walked into my house with a cows tongue my wife would be out with no hesitation. She’s pretty partial to cows, being a city girl, she loves driving around in the country looking at cowsMany many years ago when I was but a wee lad, my grandma used to cook it.

I did eat some back then and remember not hating it.

There's zero chance that has any actual food in there.Found this today. My son LOVES Mac-n-cheese. So we'll see if he likes it.
