[QUOTE=valmason01;983329]Can someone tell me what tongue tastes like? It is one of those things I just can't quite stomach..[/QUOTE]
Hard to describe, it is a fatty meat and I love the Taste. I get bored eating ham. I find the tongue more flavoursome. Sometimes though, some foods can give you the heebyjeebies. I couldn't eat things like fishy food in shells - mussels etc. probably I would like the taste buy cant bring myself to eat them.
There again I can remember growing up that my mum and her family of Irish descent would et cooked pigs trotters. There is no way I could do that either. Yet I will quite happily eat tongue.

Friday
Breakfast – boiled egg x 2
Lunch 500g salted macadamia nuts (didnt have time for proper lunch)
Tea: bacon rasher x2 egg x1 Camembert cheese with roast cauli
Saturday
Brunch - black pudding, bacon rashers x2 and one egg
Tea - broccoli and leek soup with 50g of Stilton. Melted Camembert with raw peppers, 3 small bacon ribs
Exercise- 60 minutes circuit training ( very hard work but I kept up while over 50% of class kept having to stop for rests.) The trainer has us doing a circuit then 60 seconds of a wide variety of jumps, sounds easy but I promise it is not.
Though the sense of elation that I have completed it is worth it.
Think I may be eating too much cheese. Will cut back tomorrow if I don't like the scales.
My 16 year old is doing a 48 hr 5 a side football game over the weekend to try and beat a World Record.i went to watch for a bit after he had been playing 8 hrs and there were few hobbling around already. They have a break for an hour every 4 hrs or so.
I didn't want him to do it, but several of his friends are and when you are 16 you think you know it all.

oh yeah. I can't even handle cow's liver. I know organ meat is supposed to be healthy but I just can't manage to try it. SOmeone needs to feed it to me w/out me knowing so I can get past the gross out factor.

Sunday
Brunch (ate out) roast beef, cauli, broccoli, spoonful of gravy
Tea: broccoli, leek and stilton homemade soup with 10g butter, bacon x2 rashers, cabbage with 25g butter
Exercise: 30 minutes heavy weights, 20 minutes yoga.
Got weighed Monday morning and weigh 148.6. Funny when I weighed 165 pounds my goal weight was 150lb. Now there is no way I am happy with that weight and my new goal weight is 140lb. My stomach is still really big.
Still no coke zero, though I dreamt last night I had it by mistake!!!!!

Cant tell you how close I was to having a Reeces Peanut Butter last night. Went and had a couple of spoonfuls of cream instead, but it was close. Think it may have been cos I didnt have any lunch. Unbelievable that I can be so good for weeks then nearly sabotage being in ketosis etc on a whim.

I almost lost it with a CW crap hot dog the other day, just because I was hungry (no breakfast or lunch on Sunday). I am leaving shortly for my Wednesday long day, and today I am armed...
Send me your all-time-favorite make-at-home tongue recipe, please. I have one in the freezer, and I almost gag when I look at it (it isn't peeled of its top skin layer yet...) even though I like organ meats in general, and I think it is time I did something with it.
Hang in there!!

My god, you dont think I cook it myself do you!!!
Oh no, I am a wimp of the first order. I buy it already cooked from the local butcher, so no recipes from me I'm afraid.
Actually I have just googled tongue and the images are pretty gross. Mine comes in nice, sliced circles, so I dont even make a connection to an actual tongue.
Or I didn't.:(

Confession time. This could be shocking.
Wednesday
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs
Lunch: Tongue salad, lettuce and olive oil with balsamic vingar.
SNACK: 3 PACKETS OR REECES PEANUT BUTTER AND TWO CHOCOLATE BARS. What an idiot I am, when I start eating confectionery I cant stop.
Tea: Ribs and cabbage.
OK, told myself it was a one off blow out and I am back on the straight and narrow from today. Enjoyed eating the first one but then it got kinda sickly, though that didnt stop me.
