Like, ready to cook?
I love cow's tongue on Madeira sauce and mashed potatoes or piamontese rice, but I tried making it once at home and it was a disaster. That thing is nasty to prepare. It is truly. Disgusting, so much so that I ended up throwing it away. I want to try making it again but this time I want it buy it already cleaned and preferably, sliced as well. Any place in Nova where I can find/request this? Some boutique butcher maybe? Thanks! |
You can't peel it until it is cooked. If you had problems peeling it, you probably undercooked it. And you need to peel it before it cools completely. We make it every week or two.
Try it in the crockpot. I find it gets a little over cooked that way but iris super easy to peel. |
I admit, my interest was piqued at the title. Now, I'm going to file this little nugget of info under "wish I never knew." ![]() |
Yummy. Costco sale them ready to cook. |
Really? What section? |
Which Costco? My husband worked at a Macy's delicatessen as a lad and often talks about the tongue there. It'd be a fun thing to surprise him with. |
Same here. |
OMG, all I can think about now is someone peeling my tongue and all the tastebuds coming off. |
Call Wagshall's deli and ask for Pam the butcher? She knows *everything* and if she doesn't have it, I bet she can get it. |
You know that cows stick their tongues in their noses all day long, right? |
In my nightmares. <shudder> |
What does that have to do with anything? It gets cleaned and cooked (and peeled, evidently). You probably eat sausages that are stuffed into intestines that held partially digested food/feces. Weekly tongue eater: are you from another country originally? How do you flavor it? I can't get over it looking so much like what it is, so I'm impressed you eat it regularly. Anyone else thinking of Ramona Quimby? |
If that bothers you, here are some other foods you might want to avoid: Eggs Pork Tilapia Catfish Natural casing sausages or hot dogs Blue cheese |
I do avoid those foods - disgusting. Who would eat cow's tongues??? That's like eating pig's feet. I am now off to the bathroom to vomit. |
Mmmmmm ham hocks...... |
