Animal heads of all sorts, also duck heads, can frequently be found in the
meat case at Jungle Jim's.

Don't know how one would use a duck's head.
No, they don't pay me, although I wish that they did. Sometimes pig and,
infrequently, other heads are available at some of the local Hispanic
groceries.
A hog's head is often the basis of a scrapple recipe, although there are
quickie scrapple recipes that do not require boiling up a hog's head.
As a child, my Mother would scramble eggs, maybe 6 or 8 to the pound, with
pork or veal brains. That was when there were real meat markets that
wrapped their products in butcher paper, after you selected them and also
cut meat to order. No plastic wrap involved.
Chipotle in Adobo would have been good on my Mom's brain dish, but I was
unaware at the time.
My Dad did allow both spices (salt and pepper) on the table at every meal.
Blue skies,
Frank

Goat head I don't have, as all the goats in this area seem to be pets.
I am, however, going to butcher a lamb soon, and could save that crtters
head for you.

When we used to butcher lambs my dad would fry up the brains in a pan with
butter. I never had the guts to try them... still wouldn't today.
Not even with Sandy's chipotles mixed in. Have you ever done that?
