Lengua, or tongue, is a favored delicacy in many Latin American countries and is particularly popular in Mexico, offering a tender and distinctive flavor. While it’s often disregarded in the U.S., it shares culinary appreciation similar to that of duck tongue in China. The preparation varies by region, but generally involves thorough washing, fat removal, and cooking techniques such as boiling or marinating. Despite being a unique and flavorful option, lengua remains largely unrecognized in American dining culture, indicating a delay in culinary exploration among Americans.
"Lengua, which translates directly to 'tongue' in Spanish, is enjoyed by many Latin American cultures, especially in Mexico, where it is considered a delicacy."
"Although prepared differently in each region, lengua is described as a tender, distinctive cut of beef, yet Americans often overlook it as a meal option."
