Is cow tongue suddenly trendy?


#1

I was shopping at Fiesta today and they have a good selection of untypical meats. I thought I’d check and see if they had beef tongue. It was $8 a pound. I had bought all sorts of things lately like ribeye, brisket, boneless beef ribs, and chuck steaks for no more than $5 a pound. I was shocked that something like tongue would be so expensive.

I hope not; it will probably get too expensive.

Tongue is a great LC/ZC protein. It’s tender and has a nice texture and flavor.

It has been really popular here for a while, prime porterhouse is cheaper than tongue here.

Apparently it’s become quite popular in Japan.
