MMMM a nice tongue sandwich!

It doesn't taste like ham to me. I like it though.

Never tried tongue.

Do you slice it up or just whack the whole thing between some chunky cut bread like you would with a juicy steak?

I think it's kind of similar to salt beef, could just be me though...

I've not had it for a long while and probably wouldn't want it now. I seem to recall it's a fairly strong-tasting meat.

It's lovely in peice with cranberry sauce.

Just think what that tongue has been licking :eek:

, no thanks.

Tongue is nice, if you can get one from a butcher and press it yourself - much better than tinned.

Absolutely. Tongue's really nice - lots of flavour and really rich in nutrients.

I quite like it pan fried though.

But quite happy to eat sausages I suppose?

do you eat any meat? If you do then you've got a lot of thinking to do along similar lines

I'm not a fan of tongue at all. Have eaten it a few times, but its taste doesn nothing much for me, so I eat more available meats. I do like liver though, and I love kidneys

Mmmm liver and kidneys! Food of the gods! I must say that I do quite like braised lamb's brains. Then again I like brussel sprouts and will eat pretty much anything.

You're a Froggy, they're not so bad compared to frogs legs!

Never tried brains. Have tried sweetbreads before. Not bad, quite tasty I seem to remember.

It probably tastes nice, but just the thought that its the tongue sounds horrible, strangley enough I'll eat beef.

Just one of those silly things in human nature I guess

misterPK · 9 Jan 2008 at 15:02

I'll try pretty much anything when it comes to food. And yes Gilly, maybe even rat if you barbecued one nicely for me.

When I'm out at restaurants I always look to see if there's something I havent had before. This has lead me to eating deep fried ice cream at one place!

On a similar line, I think the most unusual (and tasty) sandwich I've seen commercially avaliable was Sainsbury's Pastrami and Gherkin.

PK!

What's unusual about pastrami and gherkin?
I agree that they are tasty though.

Father Ted · 9 Jan 2008 at 15:08

I must admit I've never tried tongue. However I don't particularly like the thought of tasting something that could be tasting me back.

Freaking weirdos.

Its just not a combination I've seen before, and a bit different to the usual cheese or ham salad.
