Tongue will never touch my tongue again.
Given that my Dad grew up on a ranch, we had almost everything on the dinner table at one time or another. My Mom used to serve beef tongue to us occasionally. If memory serves, she cooked it in the pressure cooker. It was bad enough when she set down a big ol' tongue on the table just kinda staring at ya'... I remember using lots of mustard. The worst part was the leftovers the next day at school... cold tongue sandwiches in the lunchbox.

Who knows? My tastes have changed over the years & if presented properly I might enjoy it. I ain't countin' my chickens on that though.

I had some of those same problems:
As far as the appearance of it staring at us, Mom used to slice it before tabling it. That was a big help to us kids. And I actually liked hot beef tongue---very tender!!
But the cold tongue sammies in school lunches did suck, however I never was too fond of any kind of "cold beef".

My brother and I used to say, "Oh well, it's better than the damn "Cow Brains" they put on the table for us!!!!"

tongue is one of my favourite sandwich meats - though I tend to eat most of it before it gets anywhere near a slice of bread

Never cooked my own though.
Over here it's usually pressed and sliced. I suppose you could roll and vacumn pack.

I noticed one of the sellers at the new swadlincote farmers market was selling raw tongues last week. First time I've ever seen it for sale.
So might have to do a bit of research and have ago at making my own.
The texture and flavour are quite unique and more likely to appeal to someone with very savoury taste buds.
I love it :-)

Maybe Dana could skewer it on a Bloody Mary? J/K.... Never tried it, butt heard its good. Will try given the chance.

I'm thinking a side sammie would be better

My mom used to make tongue...grandpa had a farm and butchered cattle every year, nothing went to waste. It was kinda gross boiling it in the pot and seems I remember a greenish scum on the water, but once peeled and prepared, it made some kick ass sammies. I'd make some today, but I think Mrs. Engineer would divorce me if I plopped a cow tongue down on the counter. One of those things where you have to choose your battles i guess.

it used to be cheap but not any more.........mom used to boil it or do the pressure cooker thing and them make some red chili........good with beans and tortillas..............
