Let's go see what kind of trouble we can get into.
Tongue is one of my go-to orders at yakiniku too. Some negishio sauce and a bit of lemon juice and it's amazing.

Cow tongue is extremely blessed. When I talked about bacon being overrated, tongue was what I had in mind as far as an underrated meat. Lengua is my go to meat choice when I get tacos, burritos, and tortas.

Also, that's a really good price for beef tongue. I've heard white people talk about being so poor growing up that they had to eat beef tongue sandwiches and now it's a premium meat choice at Mexican restaurants and food trucks.

Curse tax:



That tongue expired in 2009.

I was curious who got saddled with the lame "loyalist" type, but after looking at a few of these articles, the princesses are shuffled around in each one. Which... of course. A bunch of the traits apply to all of them.

But now I'm imagining protracted social media arguments between adult Disney fans about which corporate personality buzzword best fits their fav.

i tried it once and it wasn't terrible, the texture and taste was great but if i was to cook it at home i would trim the tastebuds off because i swear to god it felt like i was french kissing that torta until i chewed up the chopped lengua

both my parents were poor growing up so if we complained about food when we were little we'd get hit with "at least you're not eating tongue"

then I actually tried lengua tacos and they kick rear end and I would nearly always get one in my taco order, until one time when I got one at a place I otherwise really like and they hadn't removed the tastebuds and all of a sudden I wasn't eating lengua, I was eating a loving cow's tongue

We called 'em sand crabs; when we were kids, we'd dig them up on the beach, near the tide-line, all the time. They don't bite & can't pinch.

No idea why someone would collect a boxful of them, though

Thanks for this, I'm an inverebrate zoologist and was about to waste my morning trying to find a frame in that video where I can actually see one good enough to tell what it was.

They are decapod crustaceans, just like regular crabs, but belong to the group Anomura where oddly shaped crabs like spider crabs, snow crabs and hermit crabs belong. The scientific name is Emerita.

Did they used to look like regular crabs and get weird, or are these a pre-crab crab, or did they and regular looking crabs fork off from something that looked like neither?

The ancestral body shape for a decapod is streched out like shrimp, crayfish and lobsters. Evolving a crab-like body shape is called carcinisation and has happened at least five times in decapod crustaceans. Sand crabs's closest relatives are king crabs and hermit crabs. Their ancestors were probably more lobster-like.

Thanks! Yeah I knew about carcinisation which is why I was curious if these guys were innocents yet to see the truth or heretics who had experienced yet abandoned God's true perfect form.

We call them sand fleas in NC, and you can buy special sifters called sand flea rakes to dig them out of the sand because they apparently make good bait.

They are also known as mole crabs. I use to find them at the tide-line on the beaches of Maryland and Delaware.

I watched a guy cook and eat some on youtube and remember him being pretty unimpressed, do you mean people eat them the way some people eat cicadas, like they're technically edible but why

They're street food in a number of countries. I don't see them as being much different than shrimp except they burrow instead of swim. I've heard them described as similar to softshell crab poppers.
