I'm loving this weather for a Saturday



Got Betty ready for a smoke session. Went heavy on hickory



Everyone's favorite. Tongue







After 1 hour or so it got wrapped in beef broth



After 2.5 hours or so the skin peels of and I'm ready to go. The cookers temp was at 350-365





Let's eat



The music was not bad either....

 
Tough life in the Tony R household eh?.............NOT!
Nice work!

ps. I love tongue when it's cold, & sliced for sammies.
 
You are living large, my friend! Great looking lengua and breakfast looks killer!
 
Great shots Tony! Tried tongue once (Not grilled as nice as yours though) but it didn't take a lickin to me:p
 
Another great cook Tony! So is the skin removed before serving? I didn't realize it peels like that during the cook, the things you can learn here
 
You're right. You can put lipstick on tongue and liver and I still can't eat them. Ive tried so many times I finally gave up! And Lord knows when it comes to eating I'm like a garbage can - I'll eat anything -almost:).

Fancy cook there nevertheless!

It's a must that it peels. You cant eat that anyways. It's like the membrane we remove from the ribs. Plus it tells us when it's ready.

but the spices penetrate through the skin? Is it true that tongue tastes like roast beef? I need to cook this and try it because my wife's grandmother used to cook stuffed tongue in the oven and my wife and her father swear it's delicious. Part of my problem is that it looks simply gross raw. Maybe I can handle it to prepare it to cook with blinders and gloves on. After its cooked it doesn't look so bad.
 
Tony, I've got a list of foods I've never tried, things that I fully plan to try someday. I'll place tongue on that list. I ate rattlesnake at a class reunion, got pretty drunk and gulped a couple of oyster shooters (actually like those now), so I will give tongue a try, someday. Something one of the members said the last time you made tongue, I believe it was Rich D., about can't help thinking of what it has licked, keeps haunting me though. All kidding aside Tony, looks great and beautifully presented!
 
Cliff. I can assure you, Ox/beef tongue is gorgeous.
What I like to do is, cook it and put in the fridge. Then slice it thin & use it like ham. Beautiful.

I wonder how many people who don't like it, didn't have the skin removed? I've had it several times walking along the boardwalk at Puerto Vallarta and along 5th Ave. Playa del Carmen. Apparently I've been lucky, because it's always been excellent when I've had it (have paid as little as 75 cents for a taco to as much as $4 a taco)

From your cooks, I would bet they couldn't be bought for $4, you'd probably have to go to a sit down restaurant, one that requires shoes & shirts :)

soooo ChuckO, what does it taste like and whats the texture?
 
The best way to describe it is: Similar to about any meat you would use in a taco. You could compare it to flank or skirt steak, but it's hard to say because of all the seasonings and fixing that go into a taco. Wash it down with a shot (I like Cazadores Reposado) and follow that up with a good Mexico beer (corona is not a good Mexico beer) repeat until satisfied :)
