From the way Guga prepared and cooked this, I'm sure he knew exactly what it was and how to properly cook beef tongue. Beef tongue is among my favorite brined and long smoked cuts. Beef cheeks is very close and even better in texture when slow cooked in a smoker. Both are super nutritious and very collagen rich cuts of meat.
Guys, Tongue is weird and not that common in the US, but it is seriously one of the tastiest meats out there. If you guys want to cook it at home, boil the tongue for 20 minutes and then remove the skin, after that slice it and cook it like a stew on a pressure cooker for 30 minutes or so, serve it on top of some rice and you got yourself a banger meal.
@@codyfinley458 does it? I never been to USA and everytime I see a video about americans trying to eat ox tongue, they seem genuinely surprised. That is why I thought that it is a very common food there
And half of anyone from a place with lots of hispanic food. I'm a black guy from Las Vegas and I love lengua and have two frozen tongues in my freezer right now.
Not just Mexican, but anyone in a border state to Mexico. I knew it was Beef Tongue from the start. Usually when I cook Barbacoa we use beef cheek. I've never used tongue.
I’m Nigerian and cow tongue is a big delicacy over there aswell. Growing up in the Uk it sounded disgusting to me but my mum convinced me to try it and it’s probably one of my favourite types of meat, that and cow heart
1. I cannot believe Guga didn't know it's beef tongue. Come on! :)) 2. The meat looked good even before searing and the brining is a very good tip for easily removing the tongue skin. 3. The end result looks awesome.
Surprisingly I knew, I saw it in the store one day and was like "What the hell is that?". I then read the package and became curious of how it would taste.
We used to eat this on the farm all the time. I grew up in north western Canada. We always boiled and then pickled the tongue and ate it cold, often in a sandwich using whole wheat or rye bread with Swiss or pepper jack cheese. I am going to have to try your recipe, it looks so good.
His cooking skills ,his camera quality and camera shots , his familly members experincing the food with him , his experiments , this channel is just the best
I recall my father used to do something similar. He would hit me with the nearest Cow tongue whenever he couldn't find the pair of jumper cables that he normally beat me with.
I absolutely love, love, love "língua" (beef tongue in Brazil) - my mother used to beat it in the kitchen countertop to start softening, then use boiling water to take the skin out. Never had (nor have) a sous vide to cook like Guga did, but it always ended delicious and soft, served with "polenta" or mashed potatoes * muah *
In Russia meat salad is being made with tongue. Boil tongue till tender In salty water, bay leaf and pepper. Then cut it into cubes with boiled potatoes, boiled carrots, peas, pickled cucumbers and mayo. This salad tastes amazing
That happened to me. It’s very popular in my country usually served in tomato sauce but I kept avoiding it for unknown reasons my brain just couldn’t fathom it until it was served to me in a party and I kept going for seconds like crazy . When they told me it was tongue I couldn’t believe it.
@@eduardocerna193 it’s very hard to find in say walmart or smiths, you’ll have a better chance of finding them at a butcher shop or any Mexican market that sells meat
Beef tongue has to be the best roast beef flavor I've ever had. Also, makes amazing tacos. It used to be peasant food until wealthy people found out why we eat it.
Most of the tastiest recipes involving unusual cuts and organ meats tend to be peasant foods originally until someone rich tries it made right by an excellent cook. A lot of foods were "discovered" this way I'd imagine, as new cooking staff are brought in from the peasantry to staff feudal lord's kitchens and larders and they give a shot at a fancy version of their traditional dishes. Hence why there's so many high end dishes that are essentially just fancy gruel, porridge, or pottage.
Cow tongue, I'm from malaysia and this is one of my favourite part of a Cow. We first boiled it a little bit to remove the tongue skin, then pressure cook it up to 30 minutes, after finished pressure cooked it, we deep fried it.. Try it with thai sauce and you'll not regret it..
Beef tongue! I absolutely love this and I get treated to this for special occasion through out the year. With a great mustard sauce this is to die for and I will gladly eat a whole one by myself.
In italy we serve cow tongue as a part of the "bollito misto" together with some Green sauce (parsley,garlic,vinegar,bread softened,oil, capers and salt)
Mom used to buy a beef tongue to serve the family. It was, at the time, a relatively inexpensive cut and we were going through some thin times. It required a lot more preparation than a roast, but although it was kind of tough, it tasted about like roast beef. I suspect that slow-cooking it might have worked better than whatever technique she used for it, but I was only 8 years old at the time, and didn't mind it. My sister was kind of grossed out by its uncooked appearance, and was not as enthusiastic.
@@latenight6815 liver and kidneys mostly, but also lungs, sweetbreads, brains and anything that is not a fibrous muscle with fat running through it. Heart sits somewhere between organ meat or offal and the 'working' muscle groups. Tongue is a working muscle along with cheeks, neck, shoulder etc.
this is easily the best video ive seen, its shocking youve never tried lengua but it is not shocking at all that you guys loved it. the best taco meat next to al pastor!!!
And those tacos are so delicious. My girlfriends parents are from Mexico and they had me over for dinner one night and they didn't want to tell me what kind of tacos we where having until I tried it first. They thought I would be freaked out by it but it's actually so good.
It’s the best, I don’t know if you ever had tacos de cabeza? the head of the lamb in barbacoa is the best, most people don’t like it because the way it look, but I had a lot of flavor and the meat it’s so tender and juicy, I highly recommend to try lamb head in barbacoa.
My Papa taught me those wise words you spoke in this video from the time I was a small child. Everything does taste better on a taco. 😂 Although my Okka-San tried to teach me everything was better on rice. The war of the Japanese and the Mexicans also known as my childhood.
Sounds delicious! Germans boil it in brine with mirepoix, roux blanc and some madeira or port wine. Instead of mostarda they take horseradish or horseradish with cream. But the idea of a mustard note or even these delicious candy/mustard fruits or mostardo di fique makes me curious... thanks for the idea!
A somewhat common meat to eat in Haiti. Like he said very tender and takes flavor really well. It's good, but first time seeing it done sous-vide. Usually we boil halfway and after making a sauce, finish it in that sauce for a while
@@notthatgerry Yup, i’m from Monterrey, at the very north of Mexico and it’s a very strong tradition from here, also the ‘cabrito’ which is a baby goat, slow cooked with mesquite wood and seasoned with salt and pepper, very delicious
@@eldonaldable I am from Yucatán, never tasted cabrito, but the usual on sunday morning is Cochinita Pibil. And so every part of México has their own sunday morning dishes.
My mom would serve this like thin sliced roast beef. Usually we would eat cold on sandwiches with mustard. Yummy! One of my friends ate with us often, but had not been with us for any of our more "adventurous" meals (we live in southern USA). She was a bit of a picky eater. I did not tell her what she had eaten until after she had enjoyed it. She was not happy! It still is interesting to me that people can enjoy something, until they realize what it is. If it is good, it is good. Period! It is also interesting to me that people will state that they do not like something, when they have never tried it. Amazing!
My man really kept saying "mystery meat" like he never saw a tounge before lmao, we know you know what it is, no need to try and act like its a mystery
Yeah i was like Guga has to know what this is, and i would be surprised if he hasnt tried it before as he claimed. I mean he knew how to cook it roughly.
A lot of white people watch youtube, and it's very possible that they don't have any idea what it was. If they know it in advance they probably skip the video entirely.
@@harrislam German bloke here and man i LOVE tongue. My mom used to always make pigs tongue on sundays and i LOVED it. Yeah if not cooked right it can get a bit rubbery but if prepared well it is silky smooth soft and just delishious. Havent watched the video past 50 seconds yet and curious how he'll prepare it.
tongue is an incredible cut of meat, and highly sought after in many places internationally. I don't think I agree with the pan fry at the end. pan frying is good to put a nice crust but imo should be done to thicker, whole cross section slices. pan frying after a rough chop leaves too much surface area and you lose too much fat, as we saw around 4:40 . if you use slices you get the crust but also the juice and fat when you bite in. you can even chop after for tacos (although not my preferred serving style). my favorite way to have beef tongue is cold, the day after boiling in herbs/spices, especially the tip.
from my parent's and grandparents' recipes in South Africa, we boil it in water for 4 hours and cut it and place it in a dish with mustard and mayo sauce. I use to think guga had a fake reaction until I saw this because that is exactly how I would describe it and I love it!
It's beef tongue,it is absolutely delicious, trust me,I've tasted it before,I would recommend that you cook beef tongue next time Filipino-style dish,The Beef Lengua.
It’s Tongue and I’m from South Africa and we love it absolutely love it and here is my way to make it 1. Take the tongue and make sure the bottom of it has no extra secondary meat (basically just take out the meat on the bottom that isn’t tongue) 2. Then putt in a pressure cooker with chicken stock, Salt, cumin and bay leave and cook in a pressure cooker for 5-6 hours and just cheap topping off with more chicken stock if it evaporates
@@hyphenizm yes that is true on a regular pressure cooker 5-6 is way to long. My pressure cooker has a setting where it can manage the heat inside and also I turn my stove a low heat. This way the tongue becomes as tender as can be. If you have a regular pressure cooker I would recommend 2-3 hours.
Tongue! My grandmother had several recipes for it and all of them were amazing. Once had some friends eat some without telling them what it was, they liked it and surprised even themselves.
That was my gut instinct. Maybe some other tongue? Yupp. I figured he would’ve cooked it by now considering he’s done cupim. As soon as he said beef it was confirmed
this is not self promotion...who wants to see watermelon eating world record - I hope you will watch it just a little of your time. I appreciate so much of you watch ♥️🥺 Thank u- follow me guys👆👆food man
Don’t give it a crust the whole point is to eat it tender the tacos would be way better. We Mexicans call it tacos de langua it’s bomb onions, celantro and salsa on top SMACKS 🤤
Melvs not on tacos de lengua. In Mexico lengua is steamed, I’ve never seen it done souse vide but I guess it works the same. Also in Mexico it will never be seared in a pan.
My grocery store has already removed the “skin” of the tongue before they put it in the meat counter. It makes it look much more palatable when your buying it.
Growing up we called them "limón verde" and "limón amarillo". It wasn't until lemon-lime sodas like Sprite were introduced to the market that we learned the whole "lima" and "limón" difference.
French version : boiled for quite some time in water with some aromatics (thyme, onions, cloves, pepper) and then served with a tomato "cornichon" sauce. Yummy !!
Belgian here, our sauce includes Madeira wine and mushrooms and is obviously made with the bouillon you got from cooking the tongue. Either served with potato croquettes or fries.
My abuelita used to cook this mystery meat all the time when my siblings and I were younger and I always loved it! It's a shame she stopped making it because my siblings were grossed out after they found out what it was and refused to eat it. Really good stuff though
Fun fact: In Indonesia there is a dish called rujak cingur that means vegetable with peanut sauce (rujak) cow mouth, lips,and nose (cingur), and its popular in east java.
So, just to be clear this is long one BUT I was inspired by this video to make a variation of this with some inspiration from another of your vids. My local Wal-Mart has quite the selection of Latin foods, including beef tongue and bones with marrow. I cooked it sous vide a little bit lower temp than what you did at 150 F but I encountered an issue of the membrane around the tongue that did NOT wanna come off so it had to be "skinned" with a knife for the most part. I used the fatty bit from below the tongue to coat my pan with tallow from the rendered fat. I hit the cut up tongue with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and after browning in the pan a little bit I added a fine layer of Tajin seasoning to it then charred that with the Searzall. I used the "butter of the Gods" to glaze the meat before adding ground up Queso Fresco. I took a flour burrito tortilla, laid a thick layer of the Queso Fresco in it then followed by the meat and then some crema and lime juice. Rolled up the burrito, added it to the pan where the meat had cooked and used the oil left to brown both sides of the burrito. Served with a side of beans and chorizo and another side of crema.
I love cow tounge so much. I usually eat it sliced up on a piece of bread. I'm from Norway, so it has been normal to eat it here too. Then again, we serve a whole cooked sheep head. So us eating this too does not come to a surprise.

in argentina is very common to see lengua a la vinagreta, its just cow tongue with a vinaigrette
Lingua salmistrata... But in US they have to reinvent the wheel.🤣
Aahhh yes! We also have a mustard sauce recipe to go with the tongue in South Africa!
Sounds delicious! Germans boil it in brine with mirepoix, roux blanc and some madeira or port wine. Instead of mostarda they take horseradish or horseradish with cream. But the idea of a mustard note or even these delicious candy/mustard fruits or mostardo di fique makes me curious... thanks for the idea!
A somewhat common meat to eat in Haiti. Like he said very tender and takes flavor really well. It's good, but first time seeing it done sous-vide. Usually we boil halfway and after making a sauce, finish it in that sauce for a while
Here in México we eat beef’s tongue cooked in barbacoa style every Sunday morning! Absolutely gorgeous 👍🏼
C'mon, not on every part of México, maybe center - north
That’s awesome. We eat pancakes and eggs on Sunday mornings lol.
@@notthatgerry Yup, i’m from Monterrey, at the very north of Mexico and it’s a very strong tradition from here, also the ‘cabrito’ which is a baby goat, slow cooked with mesquite wood and seasoned with salt and pepper, very delicious
@@eldonaldable I am from Yucatán, never tasted cabrito, but the usual on sunday morning is Cochinita Pibil. And so every part of México has their own sunday morning dishes.
Guga: “it’s mystery meat, guys”
me: *laughs in asian*
@BIGFOOOOOT i'm asian too but that is so true lmao
Underrated comment😂
me, seeing the thumbnail: why is there a beef tongue in my recommended?
me, reading the title and seeing it’s guga: oh
Asian represent!
The trick is to ask what it was AFTER you eat it
Mexicans: is this even a challenge?
I've had this before and I'm not even Mexican. This stuff is way better then it looks.
My mom would serve this like thin sliced roast beef. Usually we would eat cold on sandwiches with mustard. Yummy! One of my friends ate with us often, but had not been with us for any of our more "adventurous" meals (we live in southern USA). She was a bit of a picky eater. I did not tell her what she had eaten until after she had enjoyed it. She was not happy! It still is interesting to me that people can enjoy something, until they realize what it is. If it is good, it is good. Period! It is also interesting to me that people will state that they do not like something, when they have never tried it. Amazing!
Me, a Texan looking at the thumbnail: looks like lengua
I'm not even Mexican
Haha funny the mx influence in Tx, just imagined this white guy no Mexican friends saying, “is that Tamales?”
I could tell as well and im Tennesseean. I wonder if he had some idea of what it was as he made it like tacos
I was about to post this and saw you beat me to it lol. Next on the menu extra crispy Tripa Tacos
Yeah I was about to say this is regular in tx
Barbacoa!!
Next: Wagyu Tongue!
Is that a thing?
@@mikaeluhl no, wagyu cattle is born without tongues.
Ooww mind blown 🤯
@@joaoglessa is that for real thats crazy how do thay eat anything
@@NeedChocyMilk no it's not lol
I could tell right away it's beef tongue, one of my favorite cuts.
Really? Its disgusting to me
@@thebettergamingchair8908 dear, it's delicious, very tender if cooked properly
@@JulianSoyux idk man had it once its prob because I didnt cook it right but I hated it
@@JulianSoyux yea it’s pretty shitty. But to each there own
@@thebettergamingchair8908 you ate it prepared wrong then m8 (; ‾ ~‾)
I bet these tacos taste AMAZING. I have had this exact thing before (with a pico de gallo) but this one's made by Guga so it has to be next level.
My man really kept saying "mystery meat" like he never saw a tounge before lmao, we know you know what it is, no need to try and act like its a mystery
I have a small cooking channel. If you can support me by subscribing to the channel. 🙏🙏
Yeah i was like Guga has to know what this is, and i would be surprised if he hasnt tried it before as he claimed. I mean he knew how to cook it roughly.
A lot of white people watch youtube, and it's very possible that they don't have any idea what it was. If they know it in advance they probably skip the video entirely.
@@harrislam German bloke here and man i LOVE tongue. My mom used to always make pigs tongue on sundays and i LOVED it. Yeah if not cooked right it can get a bit rubbery but if prepared well it is silky smooth soft and just delishious. Havent watched the video past 50 seconds yet and curious how he'll prepare it.
@@harrislam what do you mean white people lmaoo, this is just another meal here in europe
When Christmas comes you should make a whole meet buffet for your family and make a video out of it
That’s what Angel is dry aging for

Mystery meat
Mexicanos: Thats definitely Lengua 🤣
Close the Mexican border soon!
Bruh in philippines too we called it lengua idk where it came from but i know it's good 🤣
@@marcebreo1547 spain
Lengua is my favorite food😁😁
@@marcebreo1547 spain
In Argentina, we usually eat beef tongue as Lengua a la Vinagreta, basically, tongue covered in a vinagrette and some green stuff and herbs sometimes

*burns report card with flamethrower*
Idk why but i laughed so hard lmao
I thought he was gonna burn his son

If you’ve never had lengua tacos. You’re missing out
Lengua y cachete smacks different
MauMau: I don't like organ meat." Guga: "It's not...... steak." CLASSIC!
tongue is an incredible cut of meat, and highly sought after in many places internationally. I don't think I agree with the pan fry at the end. pan frying is good to put a nice crust but imo should be done to thicker, whole cross section slices. pan frying after a rough chop leaves too much surface area and you lose too much fat, as we saw around 4:40 . if you use slices you get the crust but also the juice and fat when you bite in. you can even chop after for tacos (although not my preferred serving style). my favorite way to have beef tongue is cold, the day after boiling in herbs/spices, especially the tip.
Mystery meat would be Greenland shark rather than cow tongue, I’d think.
Yall dumb it's cow tongue
I see you too have seen that snapchat story today
@Prod. Autocorrekt ok✌🏽🤣
PencilPractice 90 why would shark have a strong beef smell🤦♀️
Lol

It’s a popular Mexican dish called “lengua” which means tongue, cow tongue.
All mexicans know this ain't no mystery lol
In the philippines it is also called lengua

@@boogiecorleone1174 its amazing oml
It's also an Iranian dish named Kalepache in Persian.
from my parent's and grandparents' recipes in South Africa, we boil it in water for 4 hours and cut it and place it in a dish with mustard and mayo sauce. I use to think guga had a fake reaction until I saw this because that is exactly how I would describe it and I love it!
NAWT veery nawsty!
Everyone : beef tongue
Me thinking it was bull testicle : Uh yeah
my man packing then lmao
Same at first I thought it probably a pp
How did you think that
@@decasaint532 they must of had something on their mind 😂
That looks nothing like bull testicle
It's beef tongue,it is absolutely delicious, trust me,I've tasted it before,I would recommend that you cook beef tongue next time Filipino-style dish,The Beef Lengua.
Ye i ate that before 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@foodman3833 ok?
Kagutom masarap nga Lengua. Makabili nga ulit!
It’s Tongue and I’m from South Africa and we love it absolutely love it and here is my way to make it
1. Take the tongue and make sure the bottom of it has no extra secondary meat (basically just take out the meat on the bottom that isn’t tongue)
2. Then putt in a pressure cooker with chicken stock, Salt, cumin and bay leave and cook in a pressure cooker for 5-6 hours and just cheap topping off with more chicken stock if it evaporates
Sounds tasty
dude, 5-6 hours in a pressure cooker? wouldn't it turn to mush by then?
@@hyphenizm yes that is true on a regular pressure cooker 5-6 is way to long. My pressure cooker has a setting where it can manage the heat inside and also I turn my stove a low heat. This way the tongue becomes as tender as can be. If you have a regular pressure cooker I would recommend 2-3 hours.
Tongue! My grandmother had several recipes for it and all of them were amazing. Once had some friends eat some without telling them what it was, they liked it and surprised even themselves.
Netflix : Are you still watching?
Somebody’s daughter : 6:00
Jose Perez You are silly. Really silly😂😂
Havent watched vid, but cow tongue?
Spoiler:
It is indeed cow tongue, i would be a shame if i didnt recognise it, i work in a butcher shop
That was my gut instinct. Maybe some other tongue?
Yupp. I figured he would’ve cooked it by now considering he’s done cupim. As soon as he said beef it was confirmed
this is not self promotion...who wants to see watermelon eating world record - I hope you will watch it just a little of your time. I appreciate so much of you watch ♥️🥺 Thank u- follow me guys👆👆food man
i thought the same too
Looks like cow tongue yes. It is super good on bread with a little bit of mayo :)
GEKOLONISEERD
Don’t give it a crust the whole point is to eat it tender the tacos would be way better. We Mexicans call it tacos de langua it’s bomb onions, celantro and salsa on top SMACKS 🤤
TYB_Rudy _24 nah man a crust would definitely be nicer
Honestly after he sliced, it was perfect when he pulled out the pan I was like wtf
Melvs not on tacos de lengua. In Mexico lengua is steamed, I’ve never seen it done souse vide but I guess it works the same. Also in Mexico it will never be seared in a pan.
Melvs Hey man, did you blow in from stupid town?
Lengua*
My grocery store has already removed the “skin” of the tongue before they put it in the meat counter. It makes it look much more palatable when your buying it.
I think it's sad that people need their meat to look nothing like its origin in order to find it palatable. Normalise knowing what you're eating.
Guga: It's a mystery meat
Mamua: Ah shit, here we go again
Maumau* :)
Mamal 😂
Today I learned that lemon is yellow 🍋
Yeah, Limas are green. Tough In mexico for some reason is the other way around.
Growing up we called them "limón verde" and "limón amarillo". It wasn't until lemon-lime sodas like Sprite were introduced to the market that we learned the whole "lima" and "limón" difference.
Say vallah?
Food Man But you’re literally self promoting
and today you learned that you dont see yellow on your computer screen. its red and green at a specific wavelength
Guga: Today me make mysterie Meat!

This perfectly encapsulates what heston said about the main reasons why people dislike foods: Texture and Perception, rarely taste...
French version : boiled for quite some time in water with some aromatics (thyme, onions, cloves, pepper) and then served with a tomato "cornichon" sauce. Yummy !!
Langue de bœuf is so freaking good! Just like tête de veau !!!
Belgian here, our sauce includes Madeira wine and mushrooms and is obviously made with the bouillon you got from cooking the tongue. Either served with potato croquettes or fries.
@@dietermaes7818 We often eat it with creamy/buttery mashed potatoes.

Very popular in Ukraine. Boil with some salt, pepper and bay leaf. Clean, slice and serve with mayo and Chianti.
Why mystery or just like: „If you are wondering, you are not alone“...it’s obvious that’s it’s a tongue :D. No doubt for a second :D
I saw the thumbnail and didn’t even have to read the title and saw that it was tongue.
Same here lol
That closeup was one of the most disgusting things, i have ever seen
I guessed hippo butt apparently it’s not obvious to us all 😐
I grew up on tongue. Nothing remotely disgusting.
Same as you guys
My abuelita used to cook this mystery meat all the time when my siblings and I were younger and I always loved it! It's a shame she stopped making it because my siblings were grossed out after they found out what it was and refused to eat it. Really good stuff though
That's a cow's tongue, a delicacy and a tradition here in Tuscany, perfect with salsa-verde.
We only boil it, no additional step on pans.
In the UK, tongue is usually cooked and pressed and allowed to go cold so that it sets and then it is sliced for sandwiches.
Fun fact: In Indonesia there is a dish called rujak cingur that means vegetable with peanut sauce (rujak) cow mouth, lips,and nose (cingur), and its popular in east java.
No, you are wrong... Rujak cingur was made from cow's lips and nose... The texture is very different...
@25 Reinard Darren Setiawan that sounds really good :P sadly there’s nothing called “Rujak Cingur” here in Canada.
Semur lidah is better
@@wilfreda.n.1442 wih, iya disemur enak bgt itu

So, just to be clear this is long one BUT I was inspired by this video to make a variation of this with some inspiration from another of your vids. My local Wal-Mart has quite the selection of Latin foods, including beef tongue and bones with marrow. I cooked it sous vide a little bit lower temp than what you did at 150 F but I encountered an issue of the membrane around the tongue that did NOT wanna come off so it had to be "skinned" with a knife for the most part. I used the fatty bit from below the tongue to coat my pan with tallow from the rendered fat.
I hit the cut up tongue with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and after browning in the pan a little bit I added a fine layer of Tajin seasoning to it then charred that with the Searzall. I used the "butter of the Gods" to glaze the meat before adding ground up Queso Fresco. I took a flour burrito tortilla, laid a thick layer of the Queso Fresco in it then followed by the meat and then some crema and lime juice. Rolled up the burrito, added it to the pan where the meat had cooked and used the oil left to brown both sides of the burrito. Served with a side of beans and chorizo and another side of crema.
Bro I swear Walmart sells everything I think you could adopt a child from Walmart lmao
i’m Russian and cow tongue with horseradish is awesome
as a russian its like heaven
Thanks for spoiling it
Im Swiss and my grandmother make this
I love cow tounge so much. I usually eat it sliced up on a piece of bread. I'm from Norway, so it has been normal to eat it here too. Then again, we serve a whole cooked sheep head. So us eating this too does not come to a surprise.
