In South Texas we bury an entire cows head into an earth pit and cook it for several hours. When its finished, it becomes a meat unlike you've ever had before.Its tender, juicy, fatty, a melted stringy texture, slightly greasy in the best way. Would you ever try cow's head tacos?
>>22242687as long as I never have to actually see the head
>>22242687yuck
>>22242687Specifically there are different areas of the head that are most popular. Cheek meat is what youre describing, known as barbacoa which is consumed with Big Red cream soda. Then theres jaw (similar), tongue, lips, eyes, and brain. Most popular is cheek meat. But parts of northern mexico will mix all parts of the head together for taco meat, because they're crazy.
>>22242687I love pig’s head, the soft cheek and jowl along with the crispy skin. For some reason Cow head doesn’t do it for me and is off putting, don’t mind beef tongue though
When you bite into a big fat blob and swallow it anyway. That's how good it is. It has a neutral taste as well.
>>22242687This is a far more accurate image of cooked cheek meat barbacoa. Op image is brisket I believe. Sorry.
>>22242723they serve cheeks at chipotle?
>>22242687this is done in finland too, except not with the cow's head, just any ol' big piece of meat. it's called rosvopaisti
>>22242687I've already had plenty of Mexican cuisine, including Oaxacan style cricket tacos. Not my favorite, but I guess I am ready to eat ze bugs or something in our impending cyberpunk dystopia.
>>22242712Fuck yeah
>>22242712>and jowlBacon made from pig jowls is amazing.
>>22242687Can you, like, not cook the cow's head in a dirt hole though? FFS don't you have those giant BBQ ovens?
>>22242687italians eat sheep heads so yeah this isn't too crazy
>>22242926I'd reckon its because cows chew much more food so more blood flow to the face over its life time... also that being mentioned pigs are reared for slaughter in months compared to a beef which is 2yrs to slaughter weight.
>>22242687And you waste it by making a cheap ass burrito. You are too retarded for words. Texas is just Mexico at this point. No identity of it's own.
>>22242949At this point? You mean, "again"?
>>22242723Still made in the same boring fashion. Mexicans are so uncreative and just make different variations of the same dish.
>>22242687needs to be cleaned, parts cut out and washed, some parts of the mouth and nose can't ever be good
>>22242947compare that to Icelandic people who eat 400 year old sharks because it's traditional
>>22242687N tier food
>>22242687no brain matter ever. I understand its delicious, but the possibility of prion transmission is just not worth it. It appears to be a biological defense. that is to say, I appear to be experiancing intense disgust over the idea. why would I having eaten lots of wierd things and having never tried it? its because enough humans before me who didn't have this irrational disposition fucking died.
>>22242687barbacoa is not weird, weirdo.
uma delicia
>>22242952How could barbacoa be elevated then? I think you need a full mouthful of it to enjoy it properly. Last time I ate it with 25cal corn tortillas and it was perfect.
