Tongue Tales




My LL Bruce, who is half Jewish, recently had an "Oi Vey" moment craving boiled tongue. The only time I've been presented with a tongue meal (do not add comments) was when I was 10 - do you remember that meal Jeni? You weren't very old but Mom cooked tongue and served it to you, JoDee and I. Once Mom put it on the table, all 3 of us sat back in shock - like ...Whaaaa the hell is this?!!


Needless to say, none of us Gentiles here would touch it but I must give Bruce credit in that he knew how to cook it correctly. The membrane has to be removed to expose the meat but Mom never did that - so all I have in my mind is a very ugly picture, exactly like the one you're looking at, ha!

  1. Gag! I don't remember that particular meal, but Mom went on to serve tongue to me for years! I actually learned to like it, but ate it with my eyes closed. It was like the only "real" food she ever cooked.
