because my lettuce and tomato are getting lonely
beef tongue. help me out.
Go find a NY deli and eat it on a sandwich slathered with mustard. It's not different from a brisket or pot roast at that point. Same thing with chicken feet, go find a Chinese dim sum rest and eat it fully prepped.

Quote of the Morning: 'Why Add Water to Eggs?'
I think the main problem of the 'water for steam' argument is that by the time we've gotten the temp high enough to generate steam, the egg protein is a rubbery mess. The egg white and yolk both coagulate at different temps (Herve This explanation) but both are done at around 70 C (158 F), long before the 100 C we need to generate steam.

Quote of the Morning: 'Why Add Water to Eggs?'
If you watch Julia Child doing a French omlette, she adds a bit of water and uses an extremely hot pan. The omlette cooks is maybe 20-30 seconds with constant shaking. The methods that add milk or cream are low heat methods, and cook much slower. Both are good, just depends on what you like.

I was raised on beef tongue so getting used to it was never a problem. In fact, as kids we used to fight over who got the tip,( it was the equivalent of the wishbone). If you don't like the look of it whole, then you can cut it up into two or three sections before cooking. I use a pressure cooker. This way it not only cooks faster, you don't have to look at it while it's cooking. After cooking, let it cool completely, you can even refrigerate it to chill even more. Once it's cool, the skin will peel off like a banana skin. This too need not go to waste as my dogs love it. Once peeled, it looks like any other form of beef. Place it in a bowl and cover with the strained cooking liquid to keep it from drying out. You can slice it up immediately or as you need it. Makes excellent sandwiches or you can reheat it and serve as you would a pot roast.

I love almost burned bacon because of the crispiness and saltiness. It also goes soooo well with over-easy eggs and buttered toast. It's so perfect!
