I wonder if they taste anything like calf’s brains, which I’d had when I was in college. There was a diner in town where we used to go after play rehearsals, and one of the items on the menu was calve’s brains sandwiches. So of course we were always daring each other to order it, and one night I did. ---

When I was a kid, once a year we’d butcher a pig at Grandpa’s place. Lunch that day was the brain fried with onions. As I recall, it was okay, but there was plenty of other good food to eat as well. ---

When I was little, many years ago, I remember seeing pork brains in the meat department. We never had them, and now they aren’t around. ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > How many of these people will admit they were idiots when it doesn’t happen? Likely excuses: - the mass illness/depopulation is just getting underway, you’ll see the results in weeks/months/years/you’ll be sorry sooner or later - Oct 4 was a fake-out, They secretly intended the 18 gigahertz pulses to occur _October 11_. - their warnings/prayers forced Them to postpone the event, but it’s coming eventually, you betcha - there never was going to be an 18 ghz/5G/zombie extinction event, They just want us in a state of perpetual fear for malign purposes My favorite explanation for why the Evil Ones would have a specific date and time for the event, providing a warning to the intended victims: it seems that Illuminati/Satanists/Gatesians have a warped code of honor which requires providing a warning ahead of time, not that it prevents horrific consequences. ---

A guy I know grew up on a farm. They often had brains and eggs, but none of his friends at school ever had them. He thought his parents kept the best part for the family, when in reality they were eating what didn’t sell. ---

Underground comix artist Dori Seda drew a story about her roommate serving brains for dinner. She wouldn’t eat them, but decided to try them later when she couldn’t sleep. These are the final two panels.

My dad is a pig roast master. Back in the day he and his crew used to run these massive roasts or hundreds of people, roasting three pigs at a time. They had their own sauce recipe and some goofy traditions and recitations - it was quite the production. At the end of every roast was delicacy time, where all the brave folk gathered around the picked apart carcass to dive into tongues, eye balls, brains. I tried the tongue; it was pretty gross. I didn’t come close to the brains, but many did. Ick. This was a long time ago - I don’t eat any sort of pork anything anymore. ---
