OK, so where is this promised recipe for the chocolate mayo pound cake? Hmm?

Taste buds...ick. That would be too weird, eating something that could taste me while I tasted it.

I'll have to scour the internet for recipes - it's a huge tongue, like the size of my forearm, so I'll hack it in three and try it three ways. I'll be sure to post about them here.

OK, wicked. Thanks!

I really can't recall how the tongue was cooked (I was *very* young), but it was probably boiled. I'd think a crockpot would do a nice job on it.

I should warn you that after it's cooked, you'll probably want to skin the tongue before slicing it. Of course that could have already been done - the presence of taste buds on it will be pretty obvious if they haven't.

(I'm sitting here typing this as I eat my lunch, which includes two of those whole chicken legs I cooked in the crockpot yesterday... and just realized that I've eaten the thighs first! LOL!)

LOL...chicken thighs are addictive! Glad it's not just me. And any recall on how to cook the tongue? I'm gearing up to tackle it.

Mother Nurture...I get them from Beretta Farms in Etobicoke and they're awesome!!! They do have "spices" listed, so contact them and ask, they'll tell you. www.berettaorganics.com. Healthy Butcher is another great source, esp. for bacon!!

By the way... What is it about chicken thighs? I tend to stockpile them too. Any time I find them on sale, even if they're still attached to the drumstick, I buy at least one package of them, probably 2 or 3.

I had bought a multi package of the fresh thighs at Costco a few days ago, went out of town without cooking them first (at least I had the foresight to put them in the freezer), then when I was at the regular grocery store this morning, I spotted whole chicken legs on sale (which means they had THIGHS!!! [drool]), and immediately threw the biggest package they had in my cart. It wasn't until after I'd put that whole package of chicken in the crockpot that I finally remembered I'd just bought fresh thighs only a couple days earlier. And here's the kicker - when I was out of town, I'd bought a small package of thighs to cook in my motel room microwave for dinner!

Chiken thighs... I think I've developed a new addiction, to replace the carb addiction. ;)

Where do you get your org. nitrite-free hotdogs, gluten-free b-fast sausages and your organic belly bacon? Me wants! Do they have MSG or anything listed as just nameless 'spices' or 'modified anything'? I can't handle MSG and those are all code names for it.

I've had beef tongue before.... Been ages and ages ago (I was a kid growing up on a farm eons ago). I recall it being a bit... different.

I think it was the texture that seemed odd to me, very lean and muscular, but I do recall it being good with mustard on it. If you could get past that odd texture.
