I love experimenting with new foods. Tongue is something that I remember eating as a kid because it was so different. It is a traditional food as our ancestors ate all parts of the animals. I took pictures of my cooking adventure so If you don’t want to know anything about pork tongue then you don’t need to read any further.

I googled how to cook it and am glad that I started out with pork and not cow! Cow tongue happens to be huge and very ugly. Pigs tongue is much smaller and less intimidating.

Here is my chronicles of cooking pork tongue. Unfortunately I did not do anything to make this recipe exciting.

Pork Tongue

Raw Pork Tongue

Boil Pork Tongue for 3-4 hours

Cooked pork tongue

Peel the skin off the tongue and chop into slices.

I just put on some home made garlic and herb butter and salt and pepper. I did not make the garlic and herb butter but I believe there is garlic, parsley and chives in it.

This was a great tasting meat! I happen to really like it. It is soft and has a great ability to become a meat salad that you can flavour in any way you like. You can sauce it up, dress it up, or just eat it plain.
