This as a child was one of my favorite thing to eat. I remember looking forward tothe morning we would have them. This went on until one day I asked my Dad what was in them. He said brains and eggs. I never ate them again. I’m 62 years old now, and I have a fond memory for this dish. It was good eating then and I’m sure it is now as well. The dish was a common dish to farmers in the South and for that matter all over the country. On farms nothing was left off the table were it came to foods. Growing up in the city I didn’t realize that until many years later. Now I can only imagine how much we all missed growing up away from the farm. Thank for reminding me of the old days were most of your food from home and not from fast food chemicals.

Chris
Thanks a lot! Gramma has been dead for too many years, and I was too stupid to ask how to cook these. Pork Brains are just as good, and no mcd to worry about.

Hi Chris. Would you use a regular chefs knife to dice the brain, or do you have a particular utensil of choice?

Good reads. I gotta think that the folks that have been cooking that stuff for years (at least here in the South), from taco trucks to bbq shacks, would get a kick out of knowing that the stuff they have been eating for years is now ‘haute’ cuisine! Heck, I just saw a blog that had chicken tails as an app!!! Gotta love it-

Oh Chris, Chris, Chris. I just had dinner at Incanto for the very first time tonight. The things you do with pork … Brilliant.

I had some tasty lambs’ brains and curry down in Fremont at Pakwan. Just curious, do you have recommendations on any East Bay butchers who sell calves brain?

wow, butcher’s treat…weird…the closest thing I can find to brain in LA is tacos de sesos, or brain tacos. I heard they weren’t that good…but I have yet to try them.

This recipe reminds me of my grandfather going on about growing up in Mississippi and eating scrambled eggs with squirrel brains.

I am sorry Chris, you loose me at brains! Isn’t it dangerous to eat nueral tissue? Especially as our testing for Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis is so lacking?
