No, this isn't a zombie joke! There a delicacy around St. Louis, Missouri. They originated around there because that's where the stockyards were set up back in the 1800's. Oddly enough there wasn't an entry in MFP so I had to do some research just to get an estimate of the calorie count. Look up "Schottzie's - Brain Sandwich" on your food tab. They taste alot like breaded deep fried scrambled eggs. Not a lot of flavor, but add a little mustard or pickles or onions and it's certainly a change of pace. Imagine how much fun you can have grossing out all of your friends!!!

    Well I know what scrambled eggs tast like. Duh! It's not hard to imagine them breaded, the texture, taste, etc.. The weird thing is that they deep fry them for over FIFTEEN minutes to kill all the heebee-geebee's in them. Thus, making the breading much harder and crunchier than normal.

    Try looking up Vietnamese sub or sandwich... I found one that had brain in it but it's been a while since I ate and logged one do I might have the name wrong. And yes, brain subs are SO good!

    It's quite popular here with either onions and mushroom, scrambled eggs, or with spinach as a taco filling.....and yes it has a very delicate ( and almost like scrambled egg type consistency ) flavor. I stopped eating it, because I am staying away from street food these days.

    In Saint Louie they serve 'em on marble rye, with a side of vinegar slaw & a cold Stag beer on tap. Not diet or health food. But once or twice a year, it's a unique dining experience.

    Brains are really high in cholesterol! The French love them, too. I've never had the pleasure of this delicacy, but I did used to be very fond of tongue sandwiches, with mustard and lettuce.

    Is this what happened to the majority of MFPers brains? I only ask because...well you've seen the forums, right?

    I'm from Louisiana and Hog's Head Cheese is a big thing around here. I know I tasted it as a child but have no desire to eat it now. I love our Cajun foods but I draw a line when it comes to that. Or frog legs. Lol

    Well they used to serve beef brain. But after the big "Mad Cow" scare a few years back they switched to pork brains, even though they're cooked long & hot enough to destroy anything that might transmit it.

    i've had (pig's) brain in hot pot before! it's nice - like you described, a bit like scrambled eggs, and it mostly takes on the flavour of whatever you add to it.

    i would love to try a brain sandwich!!!
