Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for February 02, 2020

I remember eating lengua in a burrito, not in a casserole; still deliciosa though.

Are we finally getting an answer to what kind of tongue is in the casserole? Or was the cow just easier to draw in this case? Beef tongue is great.

My first thought was that Tia Carmen was cooking menudo…

Menudo, si; lengua,NO!

Maybe this is what Gracie was "EWW’-ing about in yesterday’s strip; it LOOKED like lengua.

Quick… make a run for the burger joint…

Smells just about right…

Years ago, when my girls were not even teens yet, I brought home a lengua from the Mexican Grocery store near my work.

I got it all sliced up early one Saturday morning, so it’d be ready for lunch when I got back from a quick fishing trip.

Well, when I got back home, my lengua had gone hasta la bye-bye, and my 2 girls said, “Hey Dad, where’d you get that meat? Can you get some more? It was GOOD!”

Ever since I saw it mentioned, I have been wondering just how good, or bad Tia Carmen’s Casserole really could be.

For me lengua is like liver. Most definitely an acquired taste.

Carmen must be channeling Donna Reed. I wonder if she also vacuums in heels? And pearls?

why is it called a casserole if she’s cooking it in a stew pot? A casserole is usually put in a pan and baked, isn’t it?

OMG! STAN!

Side meats such as organ meat are called “offal” products. Is that where we get the expression “that’s awful”? LOL

Beef tongue? BEEF TONGUE?!? I would never eat something that had been in an animal’s mouth. Scramble me a couple of eggs.

I’ve never liked lengua.

So is beef heart. My mother would wait for the butcher to get a really big one and then she would stuff it. Boy it was good.

Nice thing about sliced beef tongue – it fits well in hot dog buns!

I can eat tongue but it is really not my favorite. I love liver though.

I prefer my Tongue sliced on Rye bread with a good Horseradish mustard.

I love the artistic style of this comic! Keep up the good work Cantú and Castellanos!
