/ck/ — Have you ever had pig brain that was good? How was it done?

Gross

>>22060706
It is, yes.

Blitz with mince. Make emulsified sausage. Yes, it's offal but it could be even wurst.

Brain is good but it's definite a case of less is more.
It's very rich.
I like it fried on toast.

>>22060701 (OP)
I've only eaten it in China, usually when having hotpot. It's really about the sauce you use, as it will absorb whatever you eat it with.

Fuck on, EuroGOD

>>22060701 (OP)
i think all the brain i've ever had was poached to retain softness
it was good flavor-wise but a really strangely soft texture which i guess is the point

I don't think it'll ever be worth the risk of prion disease.

You could try it if you live to 80 because it usually takes 10+ years to cause symptoms.

>>22060701 (OP)
Won't that make you shake like an African?

There has never been a single case of prion disease recorded in agricultural swine. While pigs can be infected (and have been in lab settings) it just doesn't happen on the farm and feed lot and I don't know why (mostly because I'm not 100% on how it spreads outside of eating infected nerve tissue).

Had lamb brain in Morocco once, wasn't a fan of the texture. Was kind of like eating a big glob of fat.

Yeah it's pretty much entirelty fat with a offaly flavor. But the thing I disliked the most is that it sticks to the inside of your mouth and lingers for a long time. I'm a lover of offals but they are good when combined with stuff that's fitting but brain is a new territory because all the other offals are lean and not sticky so they can be easily paired with carmelized onions and fruit, honey, creamy sauce, vegetables and there is a balanced relationship between the offal and the rest of the meal. But brain because of it's stickiness dominates and because of it's fattiness can't be served with anything fatty. I feel like maybe putting it in an aciding spicy soup might be good because the acid might wash out your mouth of fat which will make it more "friendly" to other ingredients? Just thinking out loud.

This might be the worst thing you could eat. Enjoy the brain easting ameba.

That sounds nice, thank you.

I had it with spicy hot pot in China. It's basically like tofu. And another time at a barbecue place served basically sitting in oil with a lot of chilli and other spices, I guess cumin. Really nice and a good texture. Not offensive at all except if you're thinking "ew it's a BRAIN."

>basically sitting in oil with a lot of chilli and other spices, I guess cumin
Wasn't that really greasy? How big was the portion and what were the sides?

>>22064741
And was the hot pot acidic?

>>22060701 (OP)
Indistinguishable from butter.

>>22064743
It was one whole brain that had shrunk somewhat. It was a bit greasy but the oil was nice. It didn't penetrate the brain that much.

>>22064746
Nope, numb and spicy.

>>22064743
>sides
It was itself a side. It was at a crayfish restaurant and they had sides like cold noodles, deep fried dough stick things, pidan tofu, and one of them which was freshly prepared by the entrance was these small foil trays each with one brain sitting on a barbecue. Really nice

Thanks. Sounds like these are good solutions.

simply fried in butter with garlic

>>22060701 (OP)
Why would you try something mushy with something else that has a similar texture. I'll never understand why people do this. Who knows how you'd have liked it on something like toasted Bread

>>22060701 (OP)
Is it dangerous? And is it nutritious?
I'd like to get some if one of the answers is no and the other is yes

>>22066060
>Is it dangerous?
No
>is it nutritious?
One serving has 375% your RDA of dietary cholesterol.

>>22066086
Ah man, I smiled reading the first part of the comment. Then you ruined it

>>22066146
Eat a smaller serving then go vegan the rest of the day.

But I've heard Cholesterol ain't even bad, my old lady is always talking me not to eat 6 eggs at a time but I think it's good for me even. Maybe I'll still get the Brain, I remember having it in Albania years ago, it was only a small bit and was so good. Wanted it ever since and just found a middle eastern butcher that has it
