Beef Tongue


Landon really enjoyed this Beef Tongue from Mary's Mediterranean Kitchen in 99 Ranch. It was $11.50. It also came with pita bread. The pita bread looked good. The tongue grossed me out.

Landon and I must have similar eating faves. Beef tongue, brings back memories of our kid childhood. We were not
rich, so mom made beef tongue sandwiches. just got to close the your eyes...ha.

Does it taste like a piece of steak? I don't think I can ever try tongue.

Kay said...

j: I use to be a phobe against the guts/parts of a cow other than the choice cuts. But my mom made a mean tongue stew I had eaten all my life. It was the softest and tastiest stew I ever had. I managed to get tongue at Marukai - butcher told me only restaurants order it but he got a piece for me. Unfortunately mom never had a chance to make the stew...you gotta try it, when cooked right it's tender and now very popular. -N

Ew, grosses me out too. Grandma and Papa love tongue, they always get the lingua tacos. They also said Kam Bowl used to have a good tongue plate with Chinese spice.

LOL, Aunty.

Erick, I thought you might like it.

Chet, we struggled back in the day too, but I don't recall my mom making any tongue dishes.

Susan, I've only tried it thinly sliced, yakiniku style and tasted like regular beef to me.

Kay, it's called gyutan in Japanese.

Ack, Kat! Hahahaha.

Wow, Mich . . . Kam bowl? Weren't they known for good ox tail soup too?
