How would you cook it?

The ones that I ate long ago were boiled in a spice mixture, then sliced for sandwiches. Pickle spice comes to mind, but not sure. miles

My god!! 😂😂

We did that in camp one time with caribou tongue and sliced for sandwiches.

Gettr done Richard and report back.

Local Costco has been stocking it for a few months now. Tried it a while back and it had either turned, the cook messed up. I know there’s a lot of people who love it, however when I’m at the type of place that serves it, there’s at least 4 other meats I’m trying first.

There is a large Basque community where I grew up and marinated beef tongue is a favorite with them. I like it too. The tongue is first boiled and sliced very thin and then marinated in red wine vinegar, garlic, and olive oil. To get more info google Woolgrower's restaurant pickled tongue recipe.

Ohmagherrd! that pickeled dish is good. That and a picon punch.

Literally had a tear in my eye when the Traditional Basque restaurant I grew up eating at locally shut down in 1994.

When people talk about basque communities- my mind goes straight to Reno.

For me, pickled tongue is the way to go, made into sandwiches with good spicy mustard.

When I moved to MT I had a hard time finding beef tongue, but we recently had a Winco open in town and they generally have a pretty strong Hispanic customer base, and that means we now have a lot of good, affordable tongue available.

Former owners family lives across the street. Sheep ranchers.

The hometown butcher shop when I grew up always had pickled, smoked and fresh tongue in the case. The smoked was my favorite and I'd love to find a place that smoked them like they use to. I had a local processor try it for me once a few years ago and it sucked. I'd try it myself now but tongue has gotten expensive, the last one I saw at the local Meijer store was $40!!

Are pork, or lamb tongues good?

wabigoon, Yes but they are small compared to Bovine or Bison, very few people cook and or pickle Elk, Deer, or the larger Exotic's tongue. done correctly it is good eating. Rio7

I'll pass.

Save my moose and deer tongues whenever I get one. Hunting buddy’s wife does it up right. Boil it, then peel it, then slice thin and do what you want with it.

Slayanka loves it, too. One of her favourite salads in Ukraine is made with beef tongue.

La Michocana is a chain of Mexican Meat Markets here in Texas major cities. They each contain a taqueria and my fave by far is lengua tacos. If one didn’t know you’d swear it was a great beef roast cooked in spices. It is extremely good eating.

I watched the lengua taco video on the Villa Cocina YouTube channel. What Rosanna made looked pretty good.

Thanks All.

Elk tongue, sous vide, followed by a stripping of mucosa/skin and then a quick sear or smoke. Pretty good meat for tacos or sandwiches.
