Cow Tongue Tacos
Our next weird cow part is the tongue! It is also available EVERYWHERE in Laredo and when you see it that often the greyish blue phallic looking thing starts to be irresistible. We had only ever eaten cow tongue once before, in a Korean restaurant in New York. There it was served thinly sliced and cold, kinda like spongy lunch meat. We decided to stick with Mexican flavours and it turned out very nicely. We would both definitely prepare cow tongue again, although I didn’t care so much for the heavy tomato sauce. Next time I think I would want to try braising it, slicing, seasoning it, and then grilling it so it becomes smokey and then squeezing with lime and then serving it in a hot fresh tortilla with some fresh salsa and guacamole… sounds good right?

No thank you.
Eyes, tongues and feet / are not meant for meat.
You are missing out! Tongue, Feet, Ears, Glands, etc… are all good and fun to eat.
Blue tongue: can you include that in your purple foods? Bryan says: “tongue in cheek”
I think that you are purposefully antagonizing all the vegetarians out there. I’m not so sure anymore if I’m looking forward to your cooking nights at home over the holiday
Random Fact: The Blue Tongues are an Austrailian hockey team…they might be sympathetic to your food experiments down there.
who knew all my friends and family are pussies? looks like i need to set out a kids table if you ever come visit!
Whatever gave you the idea that I wasn’t a wimpy eater? I’m as mainstream as hummus and pad Thai. Besides, I know that you still secretly want to be at the kiddie table…with all the little cutlery. See you on Saturday!
soup does taste better with a small spoon!
Holy Shit Budweiser Select! Very jealous!

You guys are funny!
So happy you are back!
tryed to watch the video, but the music overrides your voices, then no sound at the end
I think your computer must be broken.
You guys are fascinating as hell! Love your culinary adventures.
Thanks! We have fun making them.
No way!
I made tongue tacos this week, too. Delicious. I even convinced a few people that tongue isn’t a scary meat!
I think I’ll go vomit now.
Hey guys, I really enjoyed your site. You know, people laugh at me because I’m not afraid of eating weird things hehehe… Well, for me, taste is everything, and there are so many flavours and textures to take delight…
I always loved cow’s tongue. It is delicious, although most of my friends say “ewww” when I say I love it eheheh
Try chicken heart prepared as barbacue, it is traditional here in the south of Brazil. Yummy!

I think people who don’t want to at least try cow tongue and other “offal” are the weird ones
People eat just as strange sounding things like diaphragms (Skirt Steak), stomach muscles (Flank Steak) etc all the time… no reason not to eat all of the other parts too! Not to mention hot dogs and other mystery meats, which most likey contain all the cuts of meat many people think of as gross.
My favorite Tacos are the Tongue Tacos, also tripa and tacos al Pastor, the best food ever
That’s the first time I have ever seen someone cook and eat beef tongue.
Nice experiment,
last time i made beef tongue at home was years ago. It’s actually very popular in belgium, where it’s boiled first and grilled afterwards. It’s served like steak with a sauce and french fries.
But if you ate all of it, you have also finished part of the throat which was still on it when it was raw. That part should be removed at the same time as you remove the tongue’s skin, although it’s edible for sure.
Going to give this a try soon, thanks for the inspiration! Grtz,

this looked worse than the lips.
