My Dad liked pickled tongue. He also liked pickled beef heart that he would eat sliced cold on a sandwich, like his Mom used to make him. Any chance that she could, my Mom would throw out the frozen tongue to the dogs, so she wouldn't have to cook it!

I'm in South Shore Tampa & just bought 2# beef tongues from a meat supplier for $5.99 EACH! Be jealous, be very, very jealous! :)

i grew up eating tongue on a cattle ranch... i paid $9.99 last week for one, got it at a Mexican Dtor.

$5.94/lb in my area of NC. Gonna give this one a try. Thanks!

In 2016, here beef tongue can be found for about $6.99 on a good day, reaching for $8.00. I've switched to pork tongue because I can get it for $3.99/pound. They are smaller, are already skinned, milder, and cook faster. One makes a good portion. As a kid, my mom pressured or braised the tongue, usually with onions, potatoes, celery and carrots. Maybe garlic, too. I found this recipe while waiting for my tongues to cook, this evening, and the spices called for sound good. In addition to the vegetables, I included homemade pork broth instead of water and some pickling spices. Not sure about the pickling spices, but we'll find out!

I love it as much as my wife wont even look at it. I grew up in NYC where it was available everywhere and very inexpensive.
Now in SW Florida the only place I see it is in a market that caters to Mexican, south American customers.I think I will buy one and make it when wifey is visiting her sister. Thanks for providing the recipe.

I keep the cooking stock to make a wonderful tomato-Madeira sauce and just before serving I add some sliced pickles in it! Delicious with some home made mashed potatoes!!

Haven't had a beef tongue in years but bought one at Walmart for $5.48 per pound. Going to try this recipe.

Here in SC beef tongue is expensive. I paid $23 for a 3 pounder.

$5.98 from Sam's Club in Anchorage Alaska.

$6.39 per # in Iowa. $40 vor 2 beef tongues but can't resist.

Easy to follow making my first cow tongue now! Got mine from a processing center/slaughter house.. Flat $2 weighs about 2-2.5 lbs . also bought a heart for $2.. Not sure how I want to cook that yet but I couldn't wait to try the tongue!

Good recipe for cutting in half, the cooking time normally done by simmering 1 hour/per pound. Good herb choices too.

Advice to those looking for a fair price. Normally tongue is about 4 to 6 dollars per pound for 'factory' beef.

Go to an upscale [whole foods type] store. Their usual customers won't eat tongue. I buy tongue from grass-fed organic farms, sold at these markets at 3 to 4 dollars per pound (the rest of the steer goes for $15 to $25 per pound). Grass fed beef will be a bit less tender, hence the need to pressure-cook it. But WAY healthier for the consumer. Cheers!

My mom was a wonderful cook from Wisconsin. She made beef tongue and diced the peeled tongue and mixed it with the broth. She may have added extra gelatin. There was onion and celery too, and a discarded bay leaf. The mix congealed in the broth in a breadpan and was sliced as a sandwich meat. I'll attempt the name here. . . Suiltz?
