Cooking tongue.... blerrrrr

[Ali]

Wandering through the fresh meat counters here there is always cow tongue leering through cellophane. I often look at this object and remember that we had this at home, cooked and pressed. But I cannot remember if we did the cooking of it at home.

Don't know if I can pluck up the courage to make it.......

Found this great intro today:

Has anybody done this recently? Cooked tongue?

It seems to be eaten in sauce here, it was on the school menu untill recently!
My youngest loves it(fussy eater!), my elder 2 hate it, I haven't eaten it since I left the uk.
I have never cooked it like you I am a little scared!!!!!

The locals here eat it hot with a mushroomy sauce!!!

Has a slightly gelatinous texture (in my humble opinion) & I don't like mushrooms so it is never on my wish list - give me bread & butter any day!!!

Bonne chance Ali!

Think I will be brave - if I do feel brave shall I do some photos?

I remember it being a bit like a stiff piece of ham (if that makes sense) and not fatty but sort of velvety.

Think would rather try it cold and bare first before wasting a good sauce

I have looked at it but Jean just will not try it, maybe if we see it on a menu one day I will get the chance.
