my old recipe from my apprentice days ..
method
1., wash it thoroughly. Soak for 2 hours. Drain, and put in a large pan.
2. Cover with cold water, heat to boiling point, then drain thoroughly.
3. Return to the pan and cover a second time with fresh cold water.
4. Prepare and dice the vegetables. Add to the pan with the bouquet garni and peppercorns.
5. Heat to boiling point, cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat and simmer gently, allowing 30 minutes per 0.5kg plus 30 minutes over.
6. When cooked, lift out the tongue and plunge it into cold water.
7. Drain. Remove the skin carefully, and the small bones at the root of the tongue, together with any excess fat, glands, and gristle.

Find someone with a dog and give it to them. There's not much I won't eat but Tongue is one of them. And Tripe. Life's too short.
