Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for January 20, 2019

I wouldn’t mind trying lengua in mac and cheese. (Perhaps Carmen used some strong-tasting cheese to hide the lengua’s own taste.)

My mental thing is looking for a way out!

great “tounge” twister……..very punny!

Mac and cheese with ham?! People do that?? Isn’t that false advertising?

I would rather eat that than chopped liver.

yes, they do and for a vegetarian in the buffet line, it gives false hope that they might actually get something to eat.

Baldo, would that be speaking to you in tongues?

what a load of tripe; rejecting beef tongue [used to get in NYC Kosher deli’s all the time on rye bread with a smear of horseradish and dark brown mustard] is rejecting a delicacy. What’s next rejecting steak and kidney pie? Blood pudding? All the good stuff???

She clearly got plenty of growing to do.

One morning, just before I left to go fishing for a few hours, I carefully sliced up a freshly cooked beef Tounge. I had bought it the day before at my favorite Mexican Market. I looked forward to having it for lunch. When I got home, it was gone. My two young daughters said, “Dad, that sure was good meat, can you please get some more!”.

I thought lengua was a kind of garlic/paprika sausage.

We had Mac n Cheese with breaded, fried Spam slices…actually pretty darn tasty!

Lengua is beef tongue !! Yum yum

Mac n Cheese n,n,n,n no thank you please…jus the mac n cheese for me. By the way, the best frozen brand of mac n cheese is Stoffers. That good ol red box. <3
