Is cow tongue healthy

Answer 1

Yes, in some countries it is considered a delicacy. The tongue itself is simply a muscle which is very high in fat that can be boiled, pickled, cooked or roasted. Beef tongue is often seasoned with spices and onions then boiled. The skin is then removed and the rest of the tongue is served. Pickled tongue is also used by the cooks since it is already spiced. Beef tongue can also be roasted, but it must be placed in scalding hot water first to remove the skin before it can be placed in a roast pan and thrown in the oven and cooked just like roast beef would, with the drippings used as gravy.

The following countries often eat beef tongue: Belgium, Spain (as mentioned above), Mexico, Romania, Germany, Portugal, Persian, Phillipine, Albania, England, Russia, and Japan. The Jewish also often use beef tongue on their holiday of the Sukkot.
