Tongue taco
Taqueria Guadalajara, 1033 S. Park St.
Tender lengua; just top it with cilantro and onions.
Pork tripe
A Pig in a Fur Coat, 940 Williamson St.
Pork tripe may be a tough sell in vegan-centric near east Madison. But it’s much easier for the omnivore to contemplate when paired with pork belly, a fried egg, white beans, greens and a judicious amount of tomato, topped off with buttered bread crumbs.
Ox tongue and tripe with chili
Fugu, 411 W. Gilman St.
The red chili is quite hot in this classic Far East pairing.
