    Going on the tripe thread. When I was younger, I lived on a pig farm.
    It was not unusual, to come home to find a whole pigs head, boiling away in a massive pan on the cooker.

    Boiled pigs brain. Anyone try that?

  3. The wifey used to have sheep’s brains on toast. Would never have kissed her if I’d know that before :confused:

  8. My son recently went to China, and I asked him what he thought of eating chickens feet. He said you just suck out the goodness, and throw the rest away :eek:

    Bleurgh. Sounds grim.
    I'm not adverse to a nice plate of liver and onions. And steak and kidney pie. But brains? Not sure why I should differenciate, but Nope. Not a chance.

    In fairness, some of the things I saw on the menu in Thailand years ago (Duck Blood Cake, Cow Uterus to name a few) were equally grim... and in China there was no translations anyway so I stuck to vegetables and rice... but brain just seems wrong.
     
  10. Yep - they won the F1 title in 2009 - you need brains to do that

    It’s funny how some of you find the idea of it bad. But processed food has to be worse, dosnt it?

  12. Had a brain curry a few years ago, tip top.
     
  13. My mother used to make Brawn, but just the half a head (very Damien Hirst) very tasty but I'm pretty sure there was no brains in it, we also called it pigs cheek.
