From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beef tongue, literally the tongue of a cow. Widely used in certain types of ethnic cooking, such as German cuisine and Mexican cuisine, often seen in tacos and burritos. Beef tongue is nearly pure muscle and therefore is very high in protein and low in fat, however it requires long cooking times at low temperatures to render it tender enough to eat. Beef tongue is an important export product of the Canadian province of Alberta as well as other beef producing areas.
