This pack contains three large pork tongues. I sliced each one from tip to base with a knife and stewed it in a pressure cooker. It's softer than the sliced beef tongue sold by Weee. It doesn't require much preparation, just washing it and trimming off the fat. You could also grill it and eat it. It's a generous 2.5 pounds. The tongues are frozen in bulk in one bag.

The reviews are good, I hope I won't be disappointed

I made braised pig tongue, which was cooked longer than the ones sold outside so it is softer. The elderly at home can finally eat the braised pig tongue they have been craving for.

It was delicious, but I probably couldn't eat too much of it because it was too oily. I couldn't finish it in one meal, haha.
HSVL
It feels thicker than the ones I usually buy.
Kai
It was so delicious and I was impressed
