    Grew up in a haitian household and this was a staple meat for us too! It has THEE best texture. I would get excited to eat this on sundays. Although I grew up in America, I'm always so shocked at how many North Americans don't use all of the animal in their cooking. Proud of you for trying new things.

    We Lithuanians ate beef tongue regularly. It was VERY cheap in the 1950s. It was stewed with carrots, celery, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, and onions. Then, allowed to cool in the liquid, it was removed and skinned of the "buds". It was then sliced thin and served with a sour cream, very finely minced garlic, horseradish, capers, and a bit of lemon juice. YUM!!.

    My mother used to make boiled tongue about once a month and it was a family favorite. Right at the beginning I KNEW you'd have to get to the peeling part. We always used to fight for the privilege of peeling the tongue after it was cooked, but it's quite daunting for somebody who is not used to it. I laughed so hard.

This video brought back a lot of memories of the poor man taking a look at the tongue (it was apparently from a Holstein because it was black and white) and struggling not to pass out. Peeling it almost did him in. I felt for you, Jamie - you were very brave!

    Years ago when I was visiting friends in Belgium, the family grandmother prepared tongue which was apparently a great honor for us. They only had it on very special occasions. It was new to me but being young (yes...many many years ago) and adventurous and definitely not wanting to offend this lovely lady, my friends and I plunged in. Like Jamie, I was so surprised at how good it was. Of course being a special recipe, grande-mere (she insisted we call her that) had gone to great lengths to make it a real celebratory feast and we couldn't have been more appreciative. She giggled at all our compliments and applauded our appetites. A great memory that was brought back to life by this very welcome video. Thanks Jamie.

    Tongue was a Christmas staple around our house, with a mushroom cream sauce, mashed potatoes and peas. It's great, and I hope people remain squemish about it, because that means it's cheaper for us! I've also made calves tongue, which is even more tender (though like all veal, a bit blander in flavour), and makes for a fun 1 person portion if you can get over the horror of eating a baby cow's tongue.

    I am always amazed by your courage. I'm French, and I don't dare to tackle this dish that I like so much. My parents used to make it when I was little. They had two fantastic recipes:
    Tongue in Madeira sauce, (Madeira is a cooked wine a bit like Porto, I think) and tongue in gribiche sauce, a sauce with capers. You can also make it with a hot sauce, it's very good. At home, we used to eat it with tagliatelle or rice. Sometimes with baked golden potatoes.
    Just a strange detail for me, the way to prepare your asparagus. First time I've seen someone "massacring" poor, nice asparagus that didn't deserve to be chopped so much. I mean, if you enjoyed your dish, well, that's all that matters. Maybe thanks to you I will find the courage to try this dish that I haven't eaten in years. So, thanks to you and Julia.

    What a hoot! Wine and more wine... only to discover just how good and flavorful tongue can actually be. As an American in Scotland many years ago, our family was introduced to tongue and as it was sliced very, very thinly, we used it in sandwiches on rye with mustard and sliced onions and it was fantastic! LOVED this episode.... thanks for the laughs and being able to read all the comments below on the memories you invoked from all the other subscribers who have enjoyed tongue over the years.

    Beef tongue is delicious! Never understood why some people are so freaked out by it. It's just muscle meat. Tender, delicious muscle meat.
    You should try pork cheeks some time (I'm positive Julia has a recipe for those). Another overlooked cut that people are grossed out by even though it's some of the tastiest, most delicate meat in existence. Easy to prepare, too.

      i think it could potentially have something to do with the look of just, tongues in general, its not like looking at a nice t-bone or fillet mignon that looks like what most people think muscle meat looks like so it causes some fear, like alot of organ meats, at least thats my thoughts, just general fear of the unknown

      I am so tempted to ask my family what they think about cow tongue, which they will obviously turn their noses at and then one day make this recipe and just say it is beef and not that it is tongue just to see what they think of it before I tell them.
      Honestly I think most people would eat this dish and not get that it's a tongue and just think its a cut of beef cooked well. This kinda highlights how we are become accustomed to a certain cut of meat and other parts are just wasted, and that we can eat parts of animals that look horrendous and we just need to get out of our heads a bit

    I always think of tongue as similar to oxtail in the way that people don't eat it so much in America, but I don't know why. They're both meaty and beefy, inexpensive, and taste nice braised. Apparently cow tongue is something my grandparents and great grandparents cooked and ate often, but I've only had once.

    When I was a child (we׳re talking the 1960s here) we sometimes had tongue for dinner. I remember it as a real treat, but I also remember my dad cooking it because my mother refused to go anywhere near it. I don't think we had any fancy sauce, but there were several bay leaves involved, Dad's cooking repertoire being limited. Anyway, it was a family favorite (except, of course, for Mom). Thanks for the memories and a new idea for when and if I ever get back to cooking.

    We ate it regularly when I was a kid. Sometimes as a "potroast" like this but most often it was cooked and then ground into a spread and eaten on sandwiches or with crackers. As an adult, I would simmer, peel, then slice it paper thin, add the layers to deep ramekins, add herbed schmaltz to cover, then cook in a low oven several hours to make a confit/potted meat. This is very soft and spreadable but with a different texture than when the meat is ground, and so unctuous with the schmaltz.

    That actually looks really good honestly. So I've always heard that if cooked properly, it's just like eating a really good pot roast. I keep wanting to buy one and try cooking it, but its the having to boil and skin it that always stops me. So I have a really weak stomach and get sick very easily and I'm afraid I'll 🤢🤮 while skinning it. I may have to bribe someone to help me, like I'll do the rest of the cooking, if they'll skin it for me. Cause I would really love to try it.
    Also, I have what is to me a funny story. So I have family out in California (I'm in Florida). So my uncle took my cousins (his 2 daughters) out to dinner and ordered what he told them was basically just pot roast. Well, they liked it and bragged about it. Then he told them what it was and they didn't like it anymore and were so mad at him. And sure, he should have been honest, but I thought it was funny. Besides, they liked it, at first. 😅

    Absolute delicacy in my country (Lithuania)! You can eat it as the main dish (like in your episode, but we would cook some potatos instead the baguette), as a snack/appetizer (served with mayonese (/mixed with canned green peas) or mustard and bread - old fasioned style), or just put on a sandwich - it always brings just a pure happiness (every time can't resist to chew few pieces like a candy, with nothing else). Yes, it's expensive, so we usually eat it for the special occasions like Christmas, Easter or some other important family gatherings. Also here not easy to find it fresh (uncooked) which is preferable instead of just buying already boiled from the supermarket. Your dish looks delicious, inspires me to make it as soon as I can find a beef tongue to buy. P.S. No need to trim that part you did - same good if not even better, felt like a treasure waste.
