But, that Lengua is something I just can't stand. My background is from hespanic heritage....my mother would make that with Chili Colorado...I hated it.
I love tripas (intestines) but, there is a proper way of cooking them. Menudo is another favorite of mine.
But, the wierdest thing I ever ate and this was way back in my high school days, at a slumber party......chocolate covered ants. They looked like chocolate covered peanuts....ate them before I knew.....once I was told, I ran to the bathroom and hugged the porcelin bowl. |
I've only had lengua in tacos, but there have been places that did not cook it well and it was bad. The only other tongue dish I eat is ox tongue and that is Hong Kong style. You eat it basically like a steak but it's so soft and tender, and they serve with a tomato type sauce. Hong Kong food is weird, it's a meld of chinese and fake italian/american. Like they ask you if you want your dish with rice or spaghetti.
I've eaten an ant before but it was on accident, it somehow got in my mouth. It was lemony and peppery.
I love intestines too, in many different cuisines. and I love menudo!
