Grilled perfectly. Delicious, but I still prefer normal parts of the cow :P

Disturbing thing is they're actually shaped like tongues.

Tried tongue once, and the texture was an immediate turn-off.

That's a bigger piece of meat than I'd expected o.o
Is this from a Japanese restaurant?

Yup, Japanese. I've tried beef tongue from a Mexican place too. I have to say that the Japanese place was far superior.

Out of 10, what would you rate the taste / texture to be like?
I've never had it before o.o

The picture was from 3 years ago, so I don't remember that particular one too well. The last time from the Mexican place, though - the texture was kind of like eating a mix between fat and cartilage. The taste is pretty much just beef.

Wow, probably not my thing but I might have to try one day just for the experience :')
Thank you for the description!

You should. You'd be surprised. It's deliciously beefy and when done right, it's one of the most tender pieces of meat you'll get. And yeah on average, about 5 pounds/ 2.5 kgs.

It's difficult to find extremely fresh and quality beef here for cheap since my country can only import them.
Maybe that's why I've never seen one before?
Will have to look seriously into finding a nice place for this :')
2.5kg???? Omg

Sadly even in beef producing countries, good beef meat is becoming rare. And yeah it's not easy to find because
a) only one per beef lol
b) it's rather cheap and intensely flavored so a lot of them go to food processing for frozen/prepared meals like lasagna, or sausage (chances are you had it before without knowing it ;) )
c) most people wouldn't know how to cook it right

Good to know, today I learned so much about cow tongues :P
Thank you!

A proper beef tongue is pretty freaking big.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's like... 4-5 onions long o.o
Wow. I feel so ignorant, always thought it was maybe palm sized.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, yeah, the amount of meat I got wasn't even close to a whole tongue.

Hehe, I get the feeling you believe cows to be much smaller than they are.
Everything on a cow is pretty big. :D

Probably me underestimating cows indeed :P
They look perfect to cuddle.

The most of them are perfect to cuddle :o). Very peacefull and curious animals.
Its a shame that so much get harmed (= horns cut off and burn the beginning of the horns out that they can't grow again) only that they are easier handled from humans (or more exactly easier exploited)
In Germany you have smaller cows. The smallest ones in the Blackforest (i live very near to it and know them very well from the reallife)
https://www.slowfood.de/biokulturelle_vielfalt/die_arche_passagiere/hinterwaelder_rind/ (The smallest in middle europe, 380-480kg, it give not more much of them :o(, most of them are in a radius of 20 miles, so don't a wide spreading and don't known from much people, very good meat)
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorderw%C3%A4lder-Rind (The bigger one of the two Black Forest races, max. 600kg for females, max. 1000kg for males)
Both are much better for hills/mountains, they have not so much weight and don't destroy the ground (other cows do that -with many negative effects from it-)
