    I grew up on tongue, but my mom boiled it.  Haven't eaten it in years, but I remember my brother and I fighting over the tip because it was the leanest part of the tongue.

    My wife gags when I mention it, so I will enjoy your tongue vicariously.  Pig tongue is even better than beef tongue.

    I've never tried it, but it seems like it would lend itself best to braising. Just kickin' ideas.

    I couldn't agree more!

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I love beef tongue. To me, it is like filet mignon, except tongue is better.

    I have no idea what grilled beef tongue would taste like.  I've had it in tacos, but I think it is roasted and shredded.  The flavor is delicious, a lot like a traditional roast beef.  I believe it's best suited for a low and slow type cook.

    I totally understand being leery about trying it.  The fact that I blindly ordered "Dos tacos carne asada, y dos tacos con lengua" kept me from actually knowing I was eating tongue until after one taco was down.  Lucky for me, it was fantastic.
