The tongue is not an organ. It’s most certainly muscle.

I’m a native Japanese, and definitely love sliced tongue at Yakiniku outlets, but I do not think I would like to have Gyutan Onigiri. The mere idea is simply not appetising… (>

Tongue has been a staple of the New York Kosher delis for about a hundred years. It is served pickled, chilled and sliced on nice Jewish rye bread. On sandwiches, it's best with nice deli mustard.It can also be served as sweet and sour and is quite delicious as an appetizer or main dish. This Sunday I was at Katz's Deli and although I would have wanted a good tongue sandwich, I got hot pastrami instead. This is the deli where "Harry Met Sally."

A few years ago, tongue was very hard to get here. I was told that it was being sent to Japan! THIS is what they do to our delicacy????

My husband, of the same New York Jewish background, was once sent on a business trip to Ohio. When he tried to order a tongue sandwich, the waitress thought he was trying to come on to her and got pissed!

I worked in a slaughter house for a few years and got a lot of beef tongues free. I made them into pastrami and smoked them. Heavenly!!

Sorry to be a tight assed food bitch about this BUT tongue is a muscle - not an organ. That’s why one needs to braise it for a decade before it becomes edible. I live in San Francisco so I have to make my own onigiri. One day I was having a peacefull lunch hour in the park eating my tuna onigiri. A rather attractive Japanese woman was sitting next to me. She shat herself when she saw my onigiri and learned that I made them. Onigiri is a good way to get pussy in San Francisco.

Cow Tongue Onigiri sounds good to me. Beef noodle is one of my favorite food in Malaysia here especially those with beef tongue… cant wait to taste the onigiri!

i miss bovril. the beef extract type. not the namby pamby veg extract nonsense they have now. and the chicken one just doesnt quite cut it.

marmite's the same thing innit? just smellier?

I'm pretty sure that regular vanilla onigiri is actually salted rice. The salt stops the rice from congealing quite as quickly, but by happy coincidence, and as any master chef will tell you, salt is the only ingredient that matters, whatever you happen to be cooking. That is the reason the kids shit themselves with glee. I consider it akin to putting a boiled potato with Marmite in it in a kids lunch box. They'll shit themselves alright!

ed > I’ve been here for 3 years. I’ve had tongue at yakiniku plenty of times. When grilled and sliced thinly like that then dipped in lemon tare, it’s highly palatable. I mean anything would be.

This however, is a different beast. Congealed, cold, jellified tongue is in a different taste/experience hemisphere to anything freshly chargrilled.

gyuu taan - oiishii dattebayo! yf, go order cow tongue that's been sliced thinly and grilled. trust me, its umaiii.

but anyhows lemme just point out that onigiri is not PLAIN rice - it's rice that's been seasoned with slashings of vinegar. really. among other things. some people i know swear by a little sugar, salt, sake in addition to the vinegar. really.

that's why rice is nice. you ought to come to SE Asia, where we eat PLAIN rice. haha. although of course not exclusively.

Hmmmmm-come to think of it: slice up the sheep penis and allow to marinate in champagne vinegar with pinch of sugar, salt and pepper, a bit of olive oil and sliced onions. Add cubed goose blood and drained capers - chill - lovely for a luncheon salad or first course.

In Beijing? Try some sheep penis and goose blood (maybe you should re-think the goose blood for now).
