My workout partner eats a lot of cow tongue and preaches how low fat and high
protein it is. I have looked for nutritional information on cow tongue and
can't find any.

Do any of you have any info?

Thanks in advance,

3 ounces of beef tongue contains about...

241 calories
18.8g Prot
17.6g Fat
.30g Carb
2.9mg Iron
6mg Calc
153mg Potass *
51mg Sodium
91mg Chol


I make it a point to get as much tongue as possible on a daily basis too....
Doesn't have a thing to do with training though.

Well actually you can peel the outer layer off, which will just

I agree. I would never eat anything that came out of an
animals mouth. It's egg salad for me from now on. <grin>

I dated a girl who took me out for Mexican on our second date, and she
ordered "Una la lengua torta" for herself. For those non-spanish
speakers out there, this was a *tongue sandwich*. Ewwwwwwwww !!!!!

A few years ago, my mom went to a hole-in-the-wall mexican eatery in
Houston. Now, my mother is a very picky eater but had decided to be a
bit adventurous because she was out with some friends. The menu was in
Spanish, so she just randomly picked something, pointed at it and
said,"I'll try that."

The waiter brought it out and set it in front of her. She stared down
at it and grabbed his arm. "What IS this??" she asked.

"Cow tongue, ma'am. Just like you ordered."

She spent the rest of her lunch break in the ladies room getting rid of
breakfast.

I don't think she's been adventurous since then. :)

Hey Jeff E.

You used the term "kcal" in your note. I've seen this before but don't
understand it. Is it different than "regular"calories? Thanx......

kCal just means Kilocalories. All food calories are actually kCals. TGhe
nutrition labels just refer to them as Cals though to save confusion. So if
something contains 300 calories, it *actually* contains 300,000 calories in
terms of actually energy.

Nah. They were already divorced, probably because of that whole
adventure issue, and now he's dead.

A regular calorie is the amount of energy needed to heat one gram
of water one degree celsius (= 4.19 joules). A "food calorie" as
used on nutrition labels is a thousand of these, or a kilocalorie,
abbreviated kcal.

Cow Tounge is a tender and delicious cut of meat!

Eating beef tounge over more traditional cuts of beef will help you 'lick'
that weight problem.

All of you at misc.fatness.overweight should take note! :o)

You guys make it sound gross. You peal the skin off the top so there's no
more taste buds, and the vein...well, I agree, that is gross. But there's no
blood engorged in the tongue after cooking...I've never noticed a vein.

I've been eating boiled goat tongue since I was a kid, it tastes pretty good
once you get past the whole gross aspect. :) You can make some cool jokes with
it too. I got some beatings the day I tongued it as a joke.

Well, I'm a budding weightlifter, I've a real taste for it, but the thought
of eating that has me totally cowed. Sorry, can't do it. I'm licked.

Don't bring her to Uruguay. The only innards that are thrown away are
some of the stomachs (the bigger are too messy to clean) and lungs.
Kidneys, liver and heart go direct over the fire. The long intestine is
wrapped tightly over the short, fatty one and the resulting "rope" is also
roasted. The heads are skinned and put in the over to cook the brains &
eyes, which are a delicacy. To be really traditional, you must cook the
normal meat (muscle) without skinning it. Kinda like chicken skin but
thicker :).


Cows & sheep tongue is best served cold, sliced with basil & vinegar & oil & pickled
egg sauce.
