My mantra has always been “don’t eat food that tastes you back”. No tongues, suckers or pseudopods!
People don’t want to eat tongue but have no problem kissing the dog
I watched my new dog take a shit the other day, and then turned around and started nibbling at it. He’s big on getting in your face and giving kisses and I can’t stop thinking about the poop.
Now think of the times you’ve seen someone let their dog lick them in the mouth.
Some people won’t eat tongue because their culture doesn’t eat tongue and when asked they come up with reasons.
“We just don’t, it’s a cultural thing” is so often the correct explanation, but our brains usually spin up reasons that are tidy, “just so” or satisfying even if completely off base.
I have no issue eating (cow) tongue…
You are not some people.
Although I guess you are a different some people!
Indeed, still thought I’d chime in.
Without chiming, Lemmy dies!
You’re not supposed to eat the shell
You’re not supposed to eat the skin of the tongue either.

Lengua is great
Seconded. Anyone who’s afraid of it, try a lengua taco sometime. You will not regret it (and no it doesn’t look like a tongue once prepared).
I mean, duh. Eggs don’t come out of the mouth.
I was at a farmer’s market with my mother, and there was a butcher there called “Raised Right”. We’d never bought from there before, but we looked at the menu and my mother got really excited when she saw they had tongue available. And I’ve got a pretty adventuresome palate, so I was down. We bought the tongue and cooked it up. Ate it with home-made tzatziki and stuff.
Pretty good stuff. A touch bland, maybe, but you’ll never find a more tender meat. And it’s really cheap. I guess just because people are squeamish.
We got tongue from that butcher several more times. It became a pretty regular thing.
Time passed, we got too lazy to get up early to go to the farmer’s market. We got a hankering for tongue again and found one at Walmart of all places.
It was disgusting. Mushy and stringy. Not at all the same as the farmer’s market butcher. We never did a Walmart tongue again.
Probably to be expected. Walmart’s not exactly the place where you would expect to get quality… well anything, really.
I love tounge, its one of the best cuts of meat.
My mother didn’t know how to cook it, so she just boiled it without skinning it. It was so bad I never want to eat it again.
Go to a Jewish deli and try some proper tounge
Mmm, lengua tacos.
My #1 taco meat if done right. Melt in your mouth tender🤤
Most people dont know what a cloaca is.
Lengua is so fucking good tho.
Pizzle is where it’s at.
Well, i personally didn’t eat the shells…
Let me introduce you to a dimsum dish called: 牛雜 (it’s actually decent btw… sometimes…)
