Preparing tacos de lengua: First, get yourself some veal tongue… (video)
Preparing tacos de lengua (veal tongue) is easy if you have hundreds of dollars of state-of-the-art cooking equipment from Sammic. Still, it’s weird to look at and be sure you peel off the icky “outer membrane”. Also, we notice a distinct lack of chiles, cilantro and lime. And what is up with those mini tortillas?

And it’s not by Johann Strauss, the waltz king. It’s by Mexican classical composer Juventino Rosas, and performed here by the London Symphony Orchestra.

POCHO faves La Santa Cecilia (Marisoul on vocals) team up with Mexican rockabilly band Rebel Cats on a new, live version of Soy Mexican-Americano. The video was shot at Be Bops, a 1950s-style American diner in Mexico City. If there was a washboard in addition to the cajon, we’d call this zydeco.
Here’s Los Cenzontles’ version of the song, which is on heavy rotation at POCHO World Headquarters in East Los:

If you circumcise the tips of the cones, what is gonna keep all the juices inside? #fncravings, huh?
