Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for April 25, 2010

Sooo…What’s lengua?

“This tongue had a skull around it, and could sing once. How the chica jowls it to th’ ground, as if ‘twere Cain’s tongue, who did the first murder.”

Bury that tongue casserole at least 6 feet under.

Lengua is finger lick’n good!

Yeah, lengua is good. I never had it in a casserole though.

In texas you find it every sat & sun in resturauts and corner stores AKA barbacoa, cachete…it is like a good pot roast except more juice and fatty…plus if your looking for a bypass this IS the rout to take….mmmmm

Okay. So Baldo’s friend Cruz isn’t the only one who doesn’t like Tía Carmen’s lengua casserole. Baldo’s sister Gracie isn’t either. http://www.gocomics.com/baldo/2009/07/17/

I’ve had a lengua burrito one time; wasn’t bad (except for my madrastra when I told her that “lengua” is Spanish for “[beef] tongue”).

Thank you, all!

Man walks into the deli. What’s the special? Tongue sandwich. Eww! I’d never eat anything that was in an animal’s mouth. Gimme a couple of eggs.

Don’t care to eat anything that licks me back while I’m eating it….

I had a lengua taco once, found a bone in it. Didn’t get another one. :^(

Heck, if you cant eat lengua, I wonder what yall’ do if given Menudo or Huevos de Torro . Or what bout Chitlins? :-)

My mother was always buying the cheaper meat cuts when we were little. Once she bought beef heart. I think we coul dhave handled it if she hadn;t stuffed it so full of stuffing that it actually LOOKED like a heart.

@glenbeck - I wouldn’t eat menudo, hueveos de toro or chitlins. There has to be a line, and for me it starts with goetta and includes the above.

But I do get a craving every couple of years for braunschweiger. Go fig.

We usually had it in a stew. For casserole, I’d think shepherd’s pie ought to work. With roasted chilis for that Tia twist.

Diced in red chili sauce is great

Cold, sliced beef tongue is great in a sandwich! And, my grandmother used to make a casserole with lamb tongues, rice and tomato sauce that I still have fond memories of.

Had a calf lick my hand once, and I just can’t eat tongue. Heart is fine, as is liver, But gizzards are like chewing rubber bands, and I imagine that cojones might be the same. Tripe doesn’t appeal to me, either.

After a sinful youth, I eat liver hoping it will cure mine.

X-D LOLs!!! Love the way Gracie makes her face expression uglily on the last panel.

It must be a COW’S TONGUE!

Tongue is tasty!

what abunch of tripe.

Tongue takes a lickin’ and it’s rib stickin’!
