    My mum does the same. I never understood the appeal, but… hey, it’s not like the kind of stuff that I eat is “normal” either.

        I never tasted it pickled, but it doesn’t sound offensive. And beef tongue is delicious, specially with peas and mashed potatoes. (If it wasn’t such a bother to prepare I’d gladly do it more often.)

          It’s very popular in Basque cuisine. I always get it when I go to a Basque restaurant. It’s even better when you order a side of garlic butter and slather it on the tongue.

            Now it went from “it doesn’t sound offensive” to “actually this tastes really good”. Specially because your mention of Basque cuisine reminded me that I already eat something similar, except with fish (escabeche). I’m going to try it next time that I prepare beef tongue!
