Thanks for sharing the recipe. It was FANTASTIC! I didn’t soak the tongue as long as the recipe said to and I used the brine that I soaked in to cook the meat. It came out so flavorful and tender. I never expected it to taste that good. It sort of reminded me of corned beef but more tender. If you gave someone a bite of it, they would NEVER know they were eating a tongue. By the way, my grocery store had it on sale for .99 cents for the whole tongue. I was slightly repulsed buying it, but couldn’t pass up a deal that good.

[...] meat-eating is expensive. It can actually can be quite the opposite. Think short ribs, think offal, think… pork belly. These uber-flavorful cuts of meat are not often found in the [...]

Thanks to your inspiration, the pickled tongue was a big hit, my guests LOVED it! And I had a nice leftover for a delicious tongue sandwich to boot. My photos did not look hot as yours but we really love the Cottage River Meat book. I haven’t been able to put it down since.

I love how your photo color pops, I assume it’s HDR?

Thanks Robin!

I think I would eat anything, and I mean ANTHING. But not this. My grandmother used to eat tongue in the Jewish Deli on rye bread, she loved it. I can’t even look at it!
You are daring!!!!!

I brine my own corned beef, but haven’t tried pickling tongue. I am inspired and checking back to let you know what I find at from my butcher!

My wife and I would sooner have sex change operations than eat something like this!

Says a lot more about you and your wife than the tongue.

you’re brave for putting it up, but i’m a huge fan of tongue. it’s something i grew up eating (we cook it differently); i think it’s one of the better tasting meats out there; like u said, very very tender. good for you!

It’s called offal for a reason, you know.

We did tongue in culinary school and I was SO grossed out that I nearly barfed in a trash can. I just can’t deal with the ‘extras’ from the beast- worse yet is offal. There is a reason it is pronounced ‘awful’

Serious kudos to you tho, Robin. I have to admire a woman who tackles a 7-day recipe.
