I teach at a Jewish private school and just finished a unit on nutrition. The boys there advise me that tongue is the yummiest thing ever to be served on a slice of bread.

I thought they were getting me back for a having a “protein group” transparency with a pig on it, but maybe not.

I’ve had it once in a Tijuana-style taco. It took every fiber of my being not to spit it out. The texture is absolutely disgusting. YMMV.

Pickled cold Beef tongue is often served at Basque “family” restaurants as an appetiser. I found it quite tasty.

Wow! Thanks for the web site! I had heard of Thundering Hooves and SPUD, but never while at my computer, and I keep forgetting to look them up. I’ll have something to share with Mr. singular when I get home tonight. Thanks again!
