"Before you say "ick" to tongue, ask yourself if you like brisket or corned beef. If your answer is yes, then you'll love the very pleasant beefy flavor of tongue. The long, slow cooking needed for this meat would be perfectly suited to the crockpot. Allow 1/4 to 1/3 pound per person. From the Michigan Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947."
