Commonly referred to as beef tongue.
A more sumptuous piece of beef is not to be found. We found a meat market that doesn’t charge the same price, or higher than a t-bone for the tongue. Costco, one of our fav’s, charges $5, or $6 a pound for a tongue. As most are at least 2 pounds, that’s $10. For a beef tongue?
I think not.
The most recent one we bought we got at meat.me.mx, not far from the apartment. It was half that price.
I remember, when we were dating, we made a tongue for my mom. When we left the tongue on the kitchen table, and went off to do the dishes, mom’s stupid dog came in, jumped up on the table, grabbed it, and took it behind the living room couch. By the time we got in there to retrieve it, though, she had almost completely eaten the thing.
Until we make another one, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect yourselves.
