It wont be mooing much, that's for sure. Partly because it is dead, of course, and partly because here is the tounge.

I will post more pictures after I have smoked it.

I put the beer can there to show the size of it. Four and a half pounds.

Skin removed, and wrapped ut, ready to be smoked over briquettes and a heavy dose of oak tree.

Last time I purchased a six of Tuborg, I returned it. The store owner took it back, and said he didn't blame me for doing it. ROFLOL

Can't wait to see the finished tounge! Bet it will be delicious! :D

Tuborg on a warm summer eve at Nyhavn works for me! Tongue looks ... Interesting. Looking forward to seeing as a finished product Geir!
 
First of all- beer is made of water, barley, hops and yeast. It has been made here in Europe that way since 1516, and everything with other ingredients is "beer". "Beer" advertised as "The king of Beers" just proves that american brewers do not have access to a passport. ;)

Now, since that part of the debate is sorted out, let's move on to the tounge.

Here it is, placed in my cutter, ready for slicing. I smoked it for almost eight hours. Next time I will shorten period an raise the temp, since it lost half of its weight. I was quite afraid of that it would turn out dry.

Since I intend to use this as lunchmeat, I sliced it very thin. The first thing I did when I got the slicer, was to sharpen it. The blade was not bad, but not sharp enough to make paper-thin slices. Not a problem anymore.

The tounge sliced, and a close- up.
A tad salty because of the weight loss, but not dry at all. As usual, the thick part with the white marbling is the best. The tip of the touge is a bit rubbery as usual.
