Beef tongue is delicious and as Satan said, it tastes like some of the best beef roast you'll ever have. When I cook it, I give it about a four hour simmer with onions garlic and some bay leaves. Take it out, peel, slice it and give it a quick fry in some oil. Serve on warm corn tortillas with some chopped onion cilantro and lime juice.
One of the reasons it was so valued in the old days was because of its high fat content. Gonna provide more calories when meat may be scarce.
I've been noticing these in the grocery store. They are not cheap, starting at around $20. I read once that buffalo tongue and hump where the most desirable parts of the animal to hunters, back in the old days. And I must try it. Does anyone have any cooking tips or comments?
