Yum Yum! I grew up eating barbacoa (head of cattle) in South Texas. It's such a specialty, that it's only sold on Sundays! For the best taste, you really should cook it in a pit. And no, it's not the same kind of barbacoa sold at Chipotle... that's just regular beef, not the head, but same principle.
I also love sweet bread, which is the thymus gland or pancreas of a young animal (lamb, calf, etc). When it's fried and served with a nice jus or creme sauce, it's delicious!!
And of course, you can never go wrong with foie gras (duck/goose liver), or pâté.
I grew up eating all kinds of "delicacies" like this as I grew up on a ranch, because we never waste a part of an animal, but now that I'm married to a chef trained in french cuisine, he appreciates my "sophisticated" palate!
