This is very much just a MY family thing. But most of my family members cannot stand when I eat kimchi in the house. I love it so I’m not going to stop but gosh, they get so grossed out.

    It’s usually wild game or unusual cuts of meat. I’m happy to say I’ve converted almost everyone who tried it to lengua tacos, and fish cheeks, though!

      Lengua is the freaking best, but any of my friends or coworkers who didn’t grow up eating it just look at me like I’ve lost my mind when I order it. (My partner being the exception, but he doesn’t want to eat it.)

      Also I just had yellowtail cheeks for the first time this past year and oh my God. What a flavor and texture!

        Hell yeah! I swear, the best eating on any animal is above the shoulders. Cow tongue is also great in curry and other stews.

      I had to look up what “lengua” was. Figurers that it has to be disguised with a fancy name over there.
      But then of course US people throw away half the food on the animals they butcher.

        Lengua isn’t a fancy name. In the context of tacos, it’s the appropriate term. Lengua is Spanish for tongue, and tacos are Mexican. Where they speak Spanish.

        It’s equivalent to saying chorizo tacos instead of sausage tacos. But go on and enjoy that high horse.

          In the context of tacos, maybe, but when you search for the term,that’s not the only context it’s used in.
