do you have a good beef tongue recipe to share?

I had it at a potluck and loved it.

I just boil it with a couple of garlic cloves and bay leaf.
Use it in sandwiches, with mustard, or tacos.

How do you get over the shape?

The times I have seen beef tongue in stores, it is quite obviously a tongue. Since I prepare the food in my house, I can say with total confidence that that puts me off buying it, even though I think I've read it breaks down nicely in a braise.

I have eaten tongue since childhood and it does not gross me out. My teen DC eats it, but the other college-age DC doesn't (but tried a bite of tongue sandwich at Chutzpah Deli).

If you have a problem with how a product looks or smells, or feels to touch - just don't buy it. It's not like tongue is an essential product like carrots.

Oyamel has awesome tongue tacos. (Tacos de lengua.) Don't know how they do it, but try one (or four) next time you're there.

I boil it until fairly tender; garlic cloves, bay leaves, and an onion with it. . After it cools I strip the skin and clean it (basically cut away the less nice bits. Then i salt and pepper it and coat it with a brown mustard. Then into a hot greased pan into the over, turning periodically until it has some color.

I am usually baking a ham at the same time so sort of similar baking treatments.

I boil it until tender, peel it when it is cooled and then either slice it and eat it with a little salt or I cube it and cook with lard. I serve that with salsa and cilantro.
