Can't say I've ever tried that for breakfast; I certainly wouldn't order it in Europe...

They have a local treat in my ex-hometown, Evansville, Indiana. Battered and deep fried brain sandwich, yummy! No kidding.

[ErnBatavia]

Sounds worse than Bubble 'N Squeak.

[PoisedWoman]

Sounds horrible and I think it's a cholesterol festival as well.

I love having brains. I wish I had some right now.

When I was a kid growing up in Florida my grandmother sent my brother and I up the street to a local ma & pa market to pick up a package. The package was heavy, and contained something frozen and wet. In the process of carrying it home in hot and humid summer weather, the contents thawed and a pig's snout penetrated the brown paper. We were mortified, and thought we had been victims of a practical joke. We delivered the package anyway.

We were further mortified to find that Nana planned to eat this pig's head and the brain. After cutting into the skull she removed the brain and combined it in a pan with scrambled eggs. I was only a kid so my recollection is slight, though I do remember that I ate it.

[EggsAckley]

Battered and deep fried brain sandwich, yummy! No kidding.

Many years ago, when I lived in Evansville, a favorite used to be a cold brain sandwich. [I never had enough guts to try one.]

I'm with you....I'm gonna barf if I keep reading stories like this! GROSS

When I was a kid there was nothing that tasted better than Pork Brains and Eggs. It is sooooo good. I can still remember the taste. Unfortunately, around age 6, somebody finally told me what it was and that was the end of that for all time.

Another scarecrow heard from...

Brains and eggs are better for late night fare than for breakfast. I ate (pork)brains and eggs almost every Saturday night in college.

When I was still a teenager I bicycled around Europe, and was introduced to many dietary items that astounded a naive young American of that time, who had grown up on things like hot dogs, ketchup and Franco-American spaghetti. There were calves' brains, lungs, fried squid, frog's legs, fish with their eyes still in, and who knows what else? Most of it was pretty good, although sometimes I had to shut my eyes while I forked it up.
