I went to Lousiana to visit a friend’s family, and I was fed so many delicious things that I was willing to try anything offered to me. And then someone gave me cow tongue. Now the biggest complaint you’ll hear about tongue is the texture, but I was fully expecting that part. I wasn’t expecting it to be pickled.

I do love pickled meats, and I’ve eaten and enjoyed cow tongue pho! Just something about the flavor/texture combo hit wrong, I was thoroughly offput hahah
