A girl at work today, was excited because her mom called and told her she was making lengua for dinner. That's the spanish word for tongue. So someone asked where the tongue was from. She said a cow. I was grossed out till she reminded me that since I eat menudo whenever it's around and throughout my life, it's been around a lot. Apparently that rubbery chewy thing in menudo is cows tongue. Now, I'm sure I knew this, but I had kinda put that thought out of mind over the years... Gross!!! But oh so delicious!
Edited below after an ever so important phone call to my mother:
Ahhh, what the hell do I know. I just got off the phone with my mother, and she says the girl at my work is crazy! She said menudo is Cow intestines and never, well not the one she or her family makes contains cow tongue.
Oh well, still gross, still delicious!
