Beef Tongue
Beef tongue (also known as neat's tongue or ox tongue) is a cut of beef made of the tongue of a cow. It can be boiled, pickled, roasted or braised in sauce. It is found in many national cuisines, and is used for taco fillings in Mexico and for open-faced sandwiches in the United States. In France and Belgium it is served with Madeira sauce, while chrain is the preferred accompaniment in Ashkenazi and Eastern European cuisines. Germans make white roux with vinegar and capers, or horseradish cream, which is also popular in Polish cuisine. Beef tongue is very high in fat, which contributes up to 72% of its caloric content. Some countries, including Canada and specifically the province of Alberta, export large quantities of beef tongue. Preparation Beef tongue is often seasoned with onion and other spices, and then placed in a pot to boil. After it has cooked the skin is removed. Pickled tongue is often used because it is already spiced. If cooked in a sauce, it can then lat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Picris
''Picris'' (oxtongues) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1753. ''Picris'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, such as the grass moth '' Diasemia reticularis''. '' Schinia cardui'' feeds exclusively on '' P. hieracioides''. The genus is widespread across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Description Erect annual to perennial taprooted herbs, mostly branching, stem and leaves bearing stiff bristly hairs, with rather large, usually corymbose or paniculate heads of yellow flowers. Taxonomy Taxonomic history The genus ''Picris'' was first validly described by Linnaeus in 1753 with the genus being accepted by a number of secondary sources including Plants of the World Online. Linnaeus initially described four species with ''P. hieracioides'', ''P. echioides'', ''P. pyrenaica'' and ''P. asplenioides''. In 1913, Britton and Brown proposed ''P. asplenioides'' as the type species for th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Helminthotheca Echioides
''Helminthotheca echioides'', known as bristly (or prickly) oxtongue, is a sprawling annual plant, annual or biennial plant, biennial herb native to Europe and North Africa. It was originally placed within the genus ''Picris'' but is often separated within the small genus ''Helminthotheca'' alongside a few other (mainly North African) plants which also have the distinctive outer row of bracts around the flowerheads. It is a ruderal plant, found on waste ground and agricultural soils around the world, and in some places it is considered a troublesome weed. Description Bristly oxtongue is an annual to biennial Herbaceous plant, herb with an erect or sprawling habit that grows up to tall (often up to 150 cm in fertile soils and shady places), with a solid, furrowed stem and spreading branches. The basal rosette leaves are long, oblanceolate with a short Petiole (botany), petiole, whereas the cauline leaves are lanceolate and sessile with clasping, cordate bases. On the leav ...

Fistulina Hepatica
''Fistulina hepatica'' (beefsteak fungus, also known as beefsteak polypore, poor man’s steak, ox tongue, or tongue mushroom) is an unusual bracket fungus classified in the Agaricales, that is commonly seen in Britain, but can be found in North America, Australia, North Africa, Southern Africa and the rest of Europe. As its name suggests, it looks remarkably similar to a slab of raw meat. It has been used as a meat substitute in the past, and can still be found in some French markets. It has a sour, slightly acidic taste. For eating it must be collected young and it may be tough and need long cooking. Details The cap is 7–30 cm wide and 2–6 cm thick. Is shape resembles a large tongue, and it is rough-surfaced with a reddish-brown colour. The spores are pink and released from minute pores on the creamy-white underside of the fruit body. A younger ''Fistulina hepatica'' is a pinkish-red colour, and it darkens with age. It bleeds a dull red juice when cut, which can caus ...
