Hounding After Hours

How about you two share the tongue and tell me about it first. Then I'll decide if I still think it looks good.

Looks good?

No, it looks like exactly what it is. No getting around that. But it tastes a lot like the tenderest roast beef you'll ever have.

If it's cooked right.

Apparently Ted is hoarding the tongue. That's what I am gathering.

I don't need Ted's tongue.

I have my own.


In the freezer.

I'm also starting to think Ted and I are discussing two different things.

*I'm* discussing culinary pursuits, so we're clear.

We are. And if you like your tongue with habanero sauce, then we're still talking on the same page.

*steals the tongue and hides it*

Habanero sauce?


Do tell.


Like in a detailed recipe kind of "do tell."

ew...tongue. What's wrong with you people?

Not exactly the conversation I was expecting to walk into. Of course I know I should expect anything when I show up here. Cuz you guys are a bit weird.

No prob.

First, I skin the tongue and simmer it in beer/water with a bit of salt and a bay leaf for a couple of hours. Then, I make my habanero sauce, which is really like a marinara sauce made with habaneros that have been roasted a bit. I mix that with garlic and a little tomato paste. Then, take the tongue out, cool it a bit, then chop it up into smallish cubes, put it in a pan with the habanero sauce to slowly simmer for about 30 minutes.

I like it on tortillas with fresh lettuce, red onion and thin slices of radish.

Anyone ever eaten dragon's tail before?

Whoa!

Tongue?

My grandmother used to cook it and serve it thin cut slathered with mustard and horseradish. Sometimes with bread. Sometimes with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut.

Or was that not the tongue you were talking about?

If dragon's tail is anything like gator tail, then I don't think that would work out so well. I'm told that's the worst part of the gator. But then again, dragon tail might be magically delicious.

Alligator tail must be virtually identical, wouldn't you say, Abby?

I should say not! I'm not a lizard, yanno. It won't grow back. Back away from the tail!!

Anything is good in a tortilla.

Seriously.

I'm gone a little to write and now i'm so lost.

And i can see a dragon's tail not tasting all that well. Ever dissect a fish with hard scales. I have, they are a pain in the ass, and dragons have bigger harder scales. Not fun or tasty

It's hard for me to find decent Mexican food about here...it's all watered-down versions. I have to travel if I want anything decent. And I'm always willing to travel for a good meal.

I am writing all of that down.


Except perhaps the radish bit.

it's best with corn tortillas. Good eatin', too

Right Ally- dragon's tail so wouldn't be worth the trouble. Nope, it's not good at all.

We have plenty of Mexican food here. Pretty much everywhere with steak houses scattered in between.

Now that you said that, it has me thinking. I mean, what if I'm totally missing out on rich, meaty ambrosia? What if Dragon Tail tastes like bacon and other goodies? What if it's so damned good that it's the reason dragons were almost extinct?

I wonder what's the best way to cook a dragon's tail? Or would you eat it raw, like in a raw beef salad Japanese-style?

So, Night...hon, c'mere for a second I need to ask you somethin'....

*blasts fire at Ted*

You had better stick to tongue and leave my tail alone, mister! It's bad enough that Abby's always trying to pet it, I don't need you going after it with a meat cleaver.

Oh... you know... I never thought that way either... *drools*

Night would you pass me that axe?

Ally!!

Maybe that's why Ally is always petting it...she knows how yummy it is and as she pets it, she's thinking about ways she'll fix it up.
