>bought beef tongue on discount thinking I can just chop it into steaks like regular meat>clueless.jpeg>apparently it needs extensive boiling for hours just to be edibleIs it worth the trouble or do I bin this shit?
>>21821065is it really that hard to boil something
>>21821065if you already bought it you might as well
Imagine warming it up and cramming it.
>>21821065Simmer with some spices until tender, chop it up and have tongue tacos. They're really good.>>21821074Cow tongue is like a cat's tongue on steroids. It feels like sandpaper made from small hooks. You would probably not want to cram it.
>>21821065If you eat tongue, you are just french kissing a cow
just go to a taqueria and try some lengua. if you think it tastes like cat food, then you won't like beef tongue
Why can't you make steaks out of it?
>>21821152I've kissed your mom, sounds like an upgrade to me.
beef tongue is one of those things that taste really good, but the idea of eating it makes me gag. Anyway, beef tongue in madeira is a classic.
This nigga eatin' tongues!
>>21821065Imagine tasting something that can taste you back!
>>21821065its absolutely worth it really fun to peel after boiling
>>21821065Just look up a lengua recipe and make some tacos
>>21821065He actually covers the cooking process nicely, just stop when he actually makes it into sausagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHlvv0JIH9k
>>21821065If you want a different method for getting the outer layer off anon, just freeze it for an hour, pull it out and take a potato peeler to it to get the outside off. Now you don't have to boil it at all and can cook it any way you like :)
>>21821065not sure about beef, but recently tried playing with pork red braised it - desu not impressed, tasted a bit weirdalso tried just simmering for 1.5h hours, slicing into quite thin pieces and freezing to use in stir fries later - quite nice, it turned out very tender and even after freezing/defrosting it was pleasant
>>21821065I've never made it myself but it's delicious and soft once cooked properly
>>21821215correct
>>21821065The boiling is just to remove the inedible and tough "skin" of the tongue, whatever it is called, the actual tongue meat is just meat, so of course you can treat it like regular meat, because that's exactly what it is.
Years ago my dad and I just chopped it into bite size pieces, then breaded and fried it.Did the same with some liver and heart.It was like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets in the cylinder, only the liver tasted good.
I've been around cows. I just can't think about cow tongue without also considering how many literal pounds of shit they've ingested.>but happy free range cows!You don't understand. Cows will create a 'poo patch', and then actively sit, drink, and eat out of it. Have an entire pasture? You'll inevitably find cows in the poo patch.
>>21821672you know stuff can get cleaned right?
>>21821672What's your point, humus (in the soil) is the shit of 1000's of different microbe species and worms etc, potato's grow in humus = poop potato's
>>21821677That's what they want you to think>>21821678The point is: Cows are gross, and the mouth is the grossest part. Duh. Learn to think next time.
>>21821687>Learn to think next time.don't tell me what to do!
>>21821687All animals are gross, even chickens will frolic where there's shit, and if you ate factory raised chickens then it very definitely was forced into a small area up to its body in shit.Get over it or go vegetarian.
>>21821065Slice it real thin
>>21821728You don’t eat chicken tongues and beaks though, do you
>>21821687>Learn to think next timeYou mean the part that you are seriously lacking?Tongue is just a muscle like any other.First of all it's cleaned, second of all you don't eat the outer layer that had contact in the first place, that one is peeled off.under there you will find nothing but normal muscle meat, the tongue is just a very flexible muscle.
>>21822590Go wallow in a latrine then. It all washes off so there’s no problem, right?
>>21822599You are a genuine retard
>>21822605Nah dawg, that’s you.
>>21821687>the mouth is grosser than organs and anus
>>21822732the anus is self cleaning
>>21822734For me at least, because niggers tongue my anus
>>21821065Into the meat grinder and then burger it goes. The solution to everything.
>>21822732Organs aren't gross at all.What's gross about the heart? The liver? The kidneys because muh (sterile) pre-urine?The organs are full of nutrients and vitamins (obviously, because they needed those to function just a few hours to a day ago). They're just really delicate and spoil quickly once the body is dead and no more immune system.
>>21822755Mmm when I was a young one my grandfather had a coop of chickens and when he slaughtered one he would be like who wants to eat the heart and I was like me me me. I thought it was like a special delicacy but when you go to the grocery store you can buy a bag of 20 chicken hearts for like €2 My point is is that organ meat is undervalued because people are retarded.
>>21822755Heart is clean because it's a pure muscle, kidneys and liver can be kinda iffy because of potential environmental toxin buildup, but still they're good. I was thinking about digestive stuff like stomach and intestines.
>>21821065tongue is amazing, I loved eating it at my work's cafeteria. it's so fucking expensive now, you better not throw it away, it's a treasure.
>>21822555No, but people do commonly eat chicken skin, and asians eat chicken feet. You can be sure those came in contact with nasty stuff.
>>21822803The whole "touches icky stuff" thing is retarded as fuck in the first place.You don't eat those things raw, they are COOKED. Especially tongue is cooked for HOURS. Whatever was on there is a dead as dead can be, it's completely sterile after cooking.And if the thought of it formerlly being "dirty" is what matters, then I hope he never drunks water.Fun fact: Basically every drop of water you drink has been in and got pissed out by countless many animals, the water cycle.Not to even think about the sea. All fish and other animals that swim in there have to poop as well, and there are no WCs in the ocean...So they just let it go whenever they feel it. So sea water is like a fecal matter soup, yummie. Yet I bet he at vacation still swims in the fish toilet that is the ocean no problem. But a fucking tongue is EWWWW...
>>21822865americans are so far disconnected from real food its crazy
>>21822738What's best cut for borgar?
>>21822766Let's keep it that way, i love being able to get a pound of livers/gizzards for cheap when the craving hits
>ewwwwwwwwwwwww animals touch poopies n stuff>proceeds to eat plants, which draw their nutrients directly from compost (rotten shit)
>>21821065>apparently it needs extensive boiling for hours just to be edibleWrong, the back part of it can be cut into delicious steaks, look up how japs make their gyutan. I literally made some 4 days ago. The tougher parts you just cook with some spices and then its also tender, and you can use it for some goulash or whatever.
>no one said it yetman 4chan be slippin'
>>21824913but it's the third post in this thread
Just cook it anon. And save the cooking liquid for stock - tongue is loaded with gelatin and the stock is amazing if a little strong flavored
>>21821065The butcher would run the tongue up my mum's arm when she wasn't looking (we do home kill)
>>21821092>Cow tongue is like a cat's tongue on steroids. It feels like sandpaper made from small hooks. You would probably not want to cram it.So you're saying I should start with cat's tongue and work my way up?
>>21821164You gotta boil and peel it.
>>21821065My only experience of ox tongue was when I bought this sliced stuff. It was soft like corned beef. Pretty tasty so yeah go for it
it's worth it. but do some research, and have some sauce
