Tongue. It's what's for lunch

[Puros Y Vino]

Saw this old ad pop up in a facebook group for vintage Toronto photos, etc. This was an option 100+ years ago. 

Probably similar to Simmenthal which my dad used to eat thanks to his military service in Italy during the 1950's. He never lost the "taste" for it. 😬

How does this rate with Vegemite?

Good, thinly sliced tongue is still a Jewish deli favorite, alongside corned beef, brisket, and pastrami, of course.

Canned could be pretty gross.

I was served real tongue for dinner as a kid. 

[Zonum]

Never had it canned.😂

I would definitely try tongue. I'm not sure that seeing it "quiver and sparkle" would help my appetite though, lol!

If you ever see lengua on the menu at a Mexican restaurant, it’s beef tongue. Pretty tasty tacos, in my opinion.

If I see tongue on any menu, I will order it. Love it!

Green Peppercorn in Sydney made a brilliant BBQ Ox tongue laotian style. Superb!

 

[Rocketman64]

Love it too. Super tender. Easy to make at home. Here in NJ/NY metro area, supermarkets have a cold cut (deli) version available to eat on sandwiches.

For Mexican (even in the U.S. -- maybe especially if you're in the U.S. :) ...You know you're in the right place if they offer lengua tacos -- incredible.

Used to live near a Japanese restaurant that did ox tongue a bit like sizzling steak (they had a name for it but I can't remember). Always the first thing I ordered. 

[CaptainQuintero]

Absolutely love tongue sandwiches, my butcher still makes it and it flies out the door. You have to be lucky to grab some.

Lengua tacos. They don't suck.

Tsung (tongue in yiddish), sliced thin on dark rye with horseradish is quite common in some communities.

It’s like gizzard, only better!
