Things that make you go eewww.

Smoked and sliced thin, with “fancy” mustard, on proper rye bread - omg yum!

Mustard? How uncivilized.
Pepperjack.

Three posts in and I'm tapping out.

I thought my dad was a freak putting potato chips and onions on strawberry preserve sammiches. Y'all are too much.

Who's had eaten cow tongue?


(Figured since this is INGO, I'd better be specific)

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.

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.

Ive heard its great on tacos.

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.

I'm also a big fan of buche (pork stomach) tacos. (I'm also a connoisseur of beef tripe, honeycomb and feather, too)

Ok, now I really want to be your friend and come to your house for dinner
Heck, I’d be happy to get your leftovers through the kitchen window .

I'm a big fan of the nasty tasty bits of animals.

I actually talked Mom into cooking heart one time. IIRC (it's been a LONG time ago) it was basically like super lean beef.

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'm going with cubes on skewers over hot charcoal - the same way I cook testicles.

I hate liver (but not Braunschweiger), rhubarb, and the taste of peptol bismal

You think Pepto is bad, Mom used to make me take Kaopektate. Just like liquid chalk, literally.

Ever taken that crap?

It’s freaking delicious!

House we went to had a sewer back up. Flooded basement where furnace was.
Guy had a bucket and was dumping in front and back yard. Was still in furnace and duct work.

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.

I like tongue, but not sure if I'd want to eat it if it came from a cow with two...

I tried this once, one nibble. Vile.

Looks and smells like something oozing out of road kill on a hot August day.


Once tried Ge Zi Tou (pigeon's head), beak and everything. Wasn't horrible but I wouldn't do it again...

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!"

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

Ozzy style! Oh wait... that was bats.

If you really want to go eww...

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 cows

I would drink that on the rocks, over peptol any day

I almost smoked myself out of the crane at work the other day with my farts. I wish could remember what I ate because I could retire on selling those bad boys as chemical weapons.

Found this today. My son LOVES Mac-n-cheese. So we'll see if he likes it.

There's zero chance that has any actual food in there.
