[Renew Deal]

:9

This is a depression proof meal.

1. I literally JUST saw that on StumbleUpon

and after one more Stumble I decided to wander back to the Lounge. I kid you not!

2. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

What constitutes satisfaction with canned pork brains?

3. For the idiots who still support McLame:

Higher IQ.

4. That reminds me, it's time to update the "Reasons I'm So Happy To Be Vegan" list.

8. Squeal!

9. erp.

:puke:

[Symarip]

10. Hm.

Who knows? It might be quite good. Cow tongue is often shunned, but it's actually a very flavorful cut of meat. Say what you want, but until you've had it you don't know if it truly is 'ick' material.

11. My dad and his mom

used to FIGHT OVER the BRAINS every fall when they killed hogs.

I don't know about canned, but fresh ones fixed with scrambled eggs are quite the delicacy around here.

[Symarip]

12. I've never had it

But I won't pass judgement on it. I have a smoker and most cuts of meat that are the best for smoking are horrible if cooked in any other manner. If made right, it might be something quite good.

Besides, most people don't know what they're putting into their bodies, anyway. We all might have been eating pig brains all along and didn't even know it. It's not like anything Taco Bell makes is discernable as any one kind of 'meat'.

27. My Grandfather told me that when he was a kid

He smoked fish. I thought he caught the fish, chopped it up, and put it in a pipe to smoke it!

[KamaAina]

13. Ah yes, the "triple bypass omelet"

:puke:

[Symarip]

14. Funny you mention an omelet

The cholesterol level of the forementioned pig brains is about the same as three egg yolks.

[KamaAina]

18. Three ostrich egg yolks, maybe

3500 (can of pork brains) /218 (large egg) ~= 16. 16 > 3. Q.E.D.

16. lol, never heard it called that

but eating colesterol is not as bad as the stuff that gets manufactured in your body.

[Dogtown]

19. You get my share, Symarip

Really. Help yourself.

[Orsino]

15. Damn. 3500 mg cholesterol...

...but only 150 calories. That's like the opposite of food.

[old mark]

17. Sorry - I thought this was about Palin. nt

20. For Rosh Hashanah? n/t

[Danger Mouse]

21. Dear lord how can anything have that much cholesterol??

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Here's how:

"Cholesterol is more abundant in tissues which either synthesize more or have more abundant densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord and brain"

24. Asked and answered! Thanks! Okay. As for the brains in milk gravy?

Hideous.

[YankeyMCC]

22. What I find interesting is that

this company sells enough to make a profit after the expense of having the labels made and actual canning.

I'd try pork brains in milk gravy on a dare but I think I'd have to insist on fresh not canned :)

[AZSlacker]

25. I had brains once (not knowing at the time what it was)

I was in Mexico. Not a tourist area, but pretty deep in, in a small town. There was a taco vendor and I was hungry, so I got a couple. The meat was a little strange.. mostly it was a different texture. I asked him what it was and he said "sesos". I didn't find out until a month or so later what that word meant.

[petronius]

26. So there's an animal to produces bacon, ham, pork chops, and sausage,

but some goofball decides to nosh on the brains, instead? :wtf:

That's almost as bad as eating the feet...
