When he asked me if I wanted a slice, I said 'Do you think I'd eat anything that's been in a cow's mouth?' To which he replied 'Can I fix you a couple of eggs then?' That was at least 65 years ago and I still remember it ;-). Ross. |

Its cubed and may be marinated in a soy sauce base. I found the meat too tough wherever I tried it. Also, you feel the roughness of the tongue (just like your own tongue) against your tongue which I really don't appreciate. The taste, however, is not bad. Its beef meaty but tough. So go for it if you are really interested. Possibly, you might find it at an expat Japanese restaurant where you can get a sample. Its most common among cheap street vendors in Japan that cook it right in front of you.

I cook it the traditional way, boiled. I did do one a couple weeks ago on the air cooker but it didn't come out as good as boiling. Eddie |

Usually, it is boiled. > >anyone know how to smoke it? > Repost from some time ago that I saved......... Repost of Graeme's Response from some time back: "My finest hour with the smoker happened earlier this year with an ox tongue. The tongue I smoked was just under 2 kilos in weight. As you indicated you have to get rid of the membrane. I assume you bought a fresh tongue (they are also sold salted in the UK). I boiled the tongue for 2 hours with a couple of onions. (Keep the stock. Excellent base for soup) Let it cool and chill. The membrane peels off easily. You can also trim the "root" if desired. Its a little fatty. The tongue is almost, but not quite cooked at this point. I smoked it at 235 degrees for 3 hours 45 minutes. I halved the tongue length ways prior to smoking as I thought it was too thick to smoke in one piece. I smoked it using oak chippings over lump. The bark was truly wonderful and the inner meat remained really moist. It also freezes well. Slice as thinly as possible. It should go a long way." Jason |

Yummy. Especially the front part. It is very lean and tender. The back part is a bit fatty for my taste. |

Or perhaps undercooked. I forgot to mention in my post that the tongue must be peeled and then sliced and browned prior to introduction of the mushroom sauce for braising. |

I don't remember much about it except that my father ate it and he wasn't known to eat crap. We had heart and liver pretty often too. I do liver once in awhile despite my wife not eating it. I've always liked liver and onions. There's a family restaurant down the street that keeps liver on the menu. They do a pretty good job with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. Guess I'll get a tongue or piece of one and see what all the controversy is about. -- Brick (Youth is wasted on young people) |

Has anyone tried beef toungue?
my uncle loved it, my grandmother made it every year for his birthday
dinner, the texture was too weird for me but it did smell good. I wish i could eat liver, it smells wonderful, but i simply can't keep it down.
