Real Ethnic Food

Yep.  This the true story of what happens when a fair-skinned person walks into an ethnic restaurant and orders HOT food (3 pages).  I have seen versions of this with multiple friends.  Me, the closest I get is having people stare at me when I eat crystalized ginger root as candy.  Link courtesy of my_partner_doug (who likes not just Food That Commands Respect, but food that coshes your respect over the head and drags it into a dark alley to rifle its pockets for loose taste buds).

Si dice "lengua" es mas facil. (i.e. dunno how you're pronouncing it, but you spelled it like a squeamy gringa.)

I learned that particular vocabulary word off of menus in Mexican restaurants, not in Spanish class, and it came up online when I searched the phrase to double-check it. Possibly more than one spelling is in use.

Lingua is normally "language".

The tongue is lengua.

Then "taco con lingua" is even better! How could you eat it when it can speak with you?
