Cow's tongues may be thought of as remarkably similar to very coarse sandpaper and would have an effect on soft human foot skin like very coarse sandpaper being vigorously rubbed on the sole of a foot. Ouch!!!!
Sounds like the ancient Roman torture method "goat lick"

They would take a prisoner and soak his feet in salt water for awhile. Then they would place the prisoner in stocks and have a goat lick his feet. At first, it would be very ticklish, but goats have rough tongues and eventually it would start licking away the skin and even flesh from the feet.
