Today it's tongue for diner!

ahem I have other plans for dinner tonight, but thank you for extending your gracious invitation. Tongue is one of the few things I can not bring myself to eat - another is Tripe. Do you eat tripe too?

I'm not a picky-eater and also, I'd be rude if the host cooked something for me that I wouldn't eat. I actually love eating them, we have a recipe for that here called "lengua" which is Spanish for tongue and used in various cookings. We even put some of it with vegetables, stir-fried or even sauteed. Yes, we first have to boil it and then scape off the white parts for that is grossest part of it..

As carmelanirel I also don't eat pork, but I have eaten beef tongue and would again. I do have a problem peeling the tongue as it takes a pretty strong hands. My family will not eat tongue. They find it to gross. I grew up eating it because my folks would have their beef butchered at home. Then they took to a butcher in town to have it cut up and flash frozen. To me beef tongue tasts just like roast beef.

I would have to say I am not very hungry right now. Which is funny because I love liver. Tongue just has never sounded very tasty to me. It may be a delicious dish but I would not be able to get past the fact that it is tongue.

Lol, very funny arkaf. :) I also loves to eat pork tongue. So you better reserved some for me, lol. It was my mother who first introduced me to this oh-so-yummy delicacy. What I'm doing is to place the pork tongue in the crock pot and let it stay there until it get tender. I also add carrots and potatoes. For the sauce, I alternately use mushroom or tomato sauce with lots of spices added. :)

Haven't had pork but would love to try it, especially at your table. We love lamb tongue, and beef tongue is so much my favorite meat that not only do I cook it frequently, but if someone said I had to choose just one meat dish and could have no other for eternity, that is the one I'd choose. We season ours with 7 cloves of garlic and a small handful of bay leaves, then after cooking sprinkle it with sea salt (or Bragg's wonderful Amino Acid Seasoning. Served with mashed potatoes, a fresh green vegetable, crusty whole-grain bread, a baked elephant garlic slathered with butter, and garnished with cranberry sauce and half a peach or pear. Of course I'd accept your invitation! Not only would that entitle me to enjoy the company of you and your wonderful family, but it would offer us an opportunity to try something new!

I've eaten beef tongue, but never peeled it. I think we bought it ready to cook. I've never had pork tongue, but wouldn't mind trying it.

Ahm, thanks but I just ate. I don't eat innards of any kind but I did have tongue once in England at a wedding breakfast. It was cold tongue and I can't say it tasted bad, but it is just something that does not appeal to me. I have a friend who loves things like that, hearts, chicken livers, tongue, gizzards, tripe. She always jokes with me and tells me when she invites me for dinner whe will have all those things. I am happy so far she has just been joking.

Well Im going to have to pass on that invitation. Im sure its good but I just dont think I could eat it. Why do you only like it sometimes? What does it taste like? Does it taste like another meat?

is it?? lol..i guess it was since you did made some discussion out of it..i called it an exotic food..not really fond of eating one...

Though I have bitten my own tounge a time or two and got a taste I have never eaten any kind of tounge before. I dont really like to eat things I can identify as a body part so I probibly would not like it just by thought. It is funny how things that are normal to some are odd to others. I hope you enjoy it, for us it is lasagna again with plain old ground beef. Thanks.

Well, I'ma bit wary when it comes to meat products but I must say, one day at my old job, we were slicing up tongue. I didn't know exactly what it was and I actually liked it! It tastes quite pleasant. I ate the processed tongue though so I don't know what fresh tongue would taste like. I don't see why people are so grossed out about. I mean, what's the difference in eating an animal's leg and an animal's tongue? What makes the leg or the animal's shoulder less digusting than the tongue?

Oh gross, my ldest daughter lived in a foster home for a while and they ate cow tongue. She absolutely refused to eat it and I didn't blame her none. Now cow brains are another story. That's good cooked with scrambled eggs. I haven't had that in a very long time, years...........

ewwww!! No sorry I wouldn't eat it for two reasons. Tongue just sounds really really gross and for two, I don't eat pork..:p But...I hope you enjoy your treat..

No, sorry to say this topic which caught my eye stirred up visions of my childhood and dad placing a large plate on the table which was a full cooked tongue, the thought of it now still makes me cring, not everyones cup of tea and a delicasy in some places. I refused to eat it then and would do the same now. I have however eaten heart which i enjoyed but not had for many years, I realy can't say what it was that put me off eating tongue but a vivid memmory from my childhood which will remain with me for ever.

We used to have tongue when I was young, but dad made it and I always felt a little quesy. I do not know how he made it, and it was good, but with my imagination I used to tease my brother with, "Do you know we are going to have tongue tonight, I wonder who it was." and we're laugh. I had a rather weird sense of humor then. Oh he also cooked sweetbreads too. He was an army cook and I guess he learned rather strange dishes over in Europe. I do hope he did not make anything from horse flesh! That would be too much.

I never had it before or heard of someone eating it as a stew but I am up to trying new things and if its good I wouldn't mind eating it again so I would say pass the plate, please.

LOL my mom made that for my dad to eat except she said it was cow tongue I had no idea what it was when i reheated it except it looked like a tongue I didn't even know people ate that part of the animal i felt so weird cutting it i felt bad lol

Ihave not had tongue in ages. my husband loved beef tongue and we used to have it quite often. I learned to really like it and putting it into a stew would be neat. thanksfor some new ideas.

cows tongue is a really common dish here in my country... and I LOVE IT. My mom used to make cow tongue stew, cow tongue stir fry, cow tongue with cream sauce... hmmmmmm.. now i'm hungry!! I've never (will not ever, kind of a kosher thing) eat any thing from a pig, but i bet that's yummy too.
