Shouldn't you use Elmer's Glue to glue cow parts together? (You could still argue that it's 100% pure beef. ...kinda sorta.) :roll:

Elmer who? :roll:
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

I love that method of adding the bond to Tongue and presenting it in a fried cube!

Thank you CW!

Many people don't like Beef tongue. It is a very flavorful meat, prepared right it is very tender.

I have sometimes wondered if I grind the tongue meat and form it into a patty, then see how people would enjoy the awesome flavor (as long as you don't tell them what they just consumed!) :lol:

Or try this recipe :smile: Chuckwagons Waggin` Wagon Tongue

Here's a video that shows the process. Basically, using a mechanical tumbler similar to a clothes dryer without the heater the meat is 'massaged' with spices and extracts natural myosin. The meat is then packed in cans or plastic packaging and cooked, cooled and shipped to delis. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAbt5lNwx3c

TG (aka transglute / meat glue) is cost prohibitive at $100+/kilo.

Hi,
This meat glue has been banned by certain EU countries in products for human consumption.
Cheers,
