The best part of my job is talking to you – Tulsa World readers – about food. Sometimes I answer your questions, sometimes you answer mine. We talk about recipes, the differences between extra virgin and pure olive oil, the best ways to clean an oven. Anything goes.
My favorite e-mail of the year is from a great cook from Broken Arrow. When it popped up on my monitor, I laughed out loud.
Subject line: "Is it worth the mess to clean a beef tongue?"
Before opening it, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to give her a proper answer. I have never cleaned a beef tongue, nor do I ever want to clean a beef tongue.
But she wasn't asking my advice on beef tongue. This woman is an expert. In the body of the e-mail she answered her own question. She wrote: "Absolutely!!!"
She went on to explain exactly how to clean a beef tongue, beginning with "clean the top skin off."
Her last line made me laugh as much as the subject.
"Well, gotta go tend to the tongue."
