Oh, with that kind of teaser, I had to Google that!At first I just looked for "cabeza de vaca" and got a bunch of sites talking about one of the first Spanish explorers in the land that came to be Texass. So I searched for the entire "Barbacoa de cabeza de vaca."Barbequed cows head. AnnieLee
I fully admit my bias against eating cow's head is preventing me from doing so. I've eaten snails, I've had blood pudding, I like liver. But... nope, that mental image of eating a cow's nose, brains, and the gunk from its sinuses... sorry.. no can do. With the shudders, AnnieLee
Dear Darling Capt. Cox, While I have a personal aversion to eating such items, please feel free to post recipes for the disgusting fare to your heart's content. However, I think someone is posting with his tongue planted firmly in cheek, and is cruising for a hat thwapping!AnnieLee
I'm really crushed that you would think that. I learned a long time ago that every time I had "tongue in cheek", I ended up biting it (French kissin' excluded). Only recipe I've posted that I haven't tried (either cooked myself, or tasted someone elses effort) is the SOB Stew, and that exception is only because I cant get all the makins'. You really know how to hurt a guy's feelins.

There is no doubt in my mind that the recipes are time honored and real. Here, have a hanky and stop sniffling! <Patting him on the back> AnnieLee
The Greeks also have a recepe for cooking a COWS head...waste not want not. Grandma used to make Hog's Head cheese years back when we raised and slaughter our own hogs. Good stuff. I for one will try anything once including squash (for Trinty)
Dear Darling Capt. Cox, AnnieLee
Alas!! Alack!! Woe is me!!Just when I was going to go out and get a cow's head for this magnificent recipe, <huge sighs> Del cautions us against it. I'd better heed his words. More mournful sighing, AnnieLee <Snickering behind her hand>
