I feel sure I have seen recipes for beef tongue used as taco meat. I know when my family got part of a cow we got the tongue and my mom used it as shredded meat in something. Once you peal off the skin it will be much less, well, tongue-like.

Tongue is wonderful. Cover with water and simmer until fork tender. You have to skin it while the meat is still HOT. Put the tongue in a colender and rinse with cold water until you can handle it. You may have to skin it while holding the tongue under cold, running water. Using a little, sharp knife, get under the edge of the skin and tug. Most of the skin will just peel off. If you let the tongue cool, even a little bit, the skin might as well be super-glued on. You'll have a terrible time getting it off. After it's skinned and cooled, taste a piece. You'll probably come up with half a dozen possible things to do with it. My family liked it sliced as if it were roast beef. If nothing else, it will make great sandwiches.

Randy had a rather involved explanation of how to find out how to prepare a Chinese version of braised or cracklin' pork belly, but I think I'll just let you and he talk about it directly.

Boil the tongue in salted water for a while. Slice down the outside and peel off the outer layer... that gets rid of the taste buds, etc. After that, it's a par-boiled beef roast since it's a big muscle.

Beef tongue makes great tacos (linguitas) and isn't bad bbqed.

If you really don't want it, I can assure you that I can find a good home for it...

Tongue is tasty, yes it is. I remember having it sliced and fried (after being boiled in salty water and peeled) in sandwiches as a kid. And you can find it as a burrito filling in most taquerias.

This makes me want to be a vegetarian.

Tongue = ick.
