I have never tried a Q'ed tongue but I have had it countless times before. The most challenging thing imo about the dish is the way it looks. The meat itself is very tender. If cooked correctly then it almost melts in your mouth. This is the type of meat that when cooked correctly has a pleasant texture, but when cooked incorrectly it it a disaster (think tough leather boots). When cooked correctly it is very moist. People have described it as spongy but not in a bad way. As for taste, I have to say it tastes beefy. People who have it for the first time have described it as roast beefy. Ive never had roast beef so if I ever do I guess I will describe roast beef as tasting like tongue :biggrin1:. Its not a really strong taste it is quite delicate. If you live in a city with a high mexican population i would recommend going to a popular taco spot where there are good reviews on their tongue tacos and trying them.Those tacos look very good. Can you describe the taste/texture for those of us who have never eaten beef tongue?
I'm just not sure I want to try this, yet. What makes this different, or worth trying than other beef meals?

Edit: @Tonybel how does this compare to the usual preparation (braised /sauteed)? Im really interested in trying it this way but only if it exceeds the standard preparation.
