This is a true story.

Early Sunday morning I was sipping coffee with the esteemed Judge G while sitting in the lock-down section of the Winnipeg airport waiting to go home. We were listening in to several enthusiastic hunters talk about their bear and fishing trips.

Of course with the two of us sitting there the conversation soon turned to Africa and one guy talked about his experiences.

He mentioned the "jerky" made in South Africa. Then the guy sitting next to me piped in. He talked about all the game animals he "et off" and then said the PH told him about BULL TONGUE and would he like to try some.

Long story short.... The man said he figured why not, he "et" about everything else so why not try BULL TONGUE. And he did. He then said, well the stuff sure doesn't look like tongue and didn't taste like tongue but he enjoyed it none-the-less. He could not figure out why the South Africans called it BULL TONGUE.

I was having a hard time keeping a straight face.

Ann, like the people that travel thru the "Joe Burg" airport, eh.

Cute!

The guy must be from Texas.....otherwise the story just wouldn't make since.

John.
It is cooked very often here. I have it twice a month. We know what it is. Gose well with fresh horseradish and

Hehe, funny story! Being from Texas myself, I resemble that remark JohnTheGreek!

Ann didn't keep a straight face at all. She turned away from the fellow's sight, who was talking to me, and made the damnedest face I ever saw... I don't know what was funnier, her face trying not to laugh, or the bull tongue comment... and, the hunters were from North Carolina. I guess they confused bull tongue with Bull Durham?

There aint nothing wrong with tongue tacos or tortas.You can find them in just about every taco joint in Texas.

The worst part is how long it took me to get the joke. Dumber than ussual on Mondays I guess.

Love a FUN topic

baboon,

there may possibly be a bit of difference between lengua & the Bull tongue mentioned here!!

Surely rather than Mexican food, these tongues should be served as "hotdogs" if I have the story right.

Hey, I work with Joe Berg! I wonder if they're related?

I have "et" both Biltong and Buff Tongue but never the mysterious bull tongue.I must admit that I have needed a bit of translation when ordering food in Africa.Last year in fact ,when having a steak at the resturant in Johannesburg the waiter offerred my wife ,"A bit of monkey gland sauce?"She reeled in horror and I interupted to ask,"Just which one of the monkey's glands is this sauce derived from?"
