Lengua?

 

Meatloaf Sliders

 

I knew some people that wont touch it

 

And they would be wrong

 

Yup, i told them that

 

Around here there are a few food trucks that have it otherwise you have to call ahead and ask for it and there’s a $1 / taco up charge. I don’t remember if I have ever had it, it’s worth a try the next time I see it on the menu. Which is probably Tuesday…

 

Most time you cant mess it up.if its a taco place they should know how to cook it. Its really a great street taco

 

Tounge. Pressure cooker. Tasty.

 

It’s excellent… when cooked right, extremely tender and flavorful. I love Lengua Tacos!
Tripe is another oft maligned item that is worth it.

 

My goto at my local pho place...or beef tendon...another great food that makes people go "ewww"

 

Yup… rare beef and omosa (that’s what they call tripe at my place…), extra sprouts!

 

Hey, since we have all these foodies… anyone recognize this vegetable/fruit/spice plant?
I suspect it’s Indian used/available.

 

Looks like not fully ripe soursop...it's South American I think or maybe Latin American. I've seen Goya canned at the market

 

Google search cones up couple different ones... noni, devils trumpet, soursop.

Devils trumpet is poisonous

 

Soursop are much bigger. This is a plant no bigger than a small shrub (yoga ball).
We have Latin groceries, so I’m familiar with soursop. The ball was about the size of a plum.

 

We have Trumpet plants here, but it didn’t remind me of that. I don’t recall a fruit on those like that. Not sure what the devils version might be.

 

It’s some sort of nightshade my understanding.

 

Did you see the flowers?
