Well, I'd love to try it, but ya' know . . . what with the "mad cow" disease and all, guess I'll have to pass. Maybe next time.

The brains, coated with egg, seasoning and flour, puff up when cooked. They are served hot, heaping outside the bun. | YUMMY!!!  | |

My Mom growing up when times were alot leaner got used to eating "organ meats" including brains, hearts, kidneys, oxtails, liver, thymus gland, tripe, feet, tongue etc---of course I was encouraged to eat this as well, she used to pull it off by disguising what I was eating, when I finally caught on to her I just about ate NO meat whatsoever (an occasional cheeseburger) till after I was 18 and out of the house...

Personally, I'm a big fan of menudo, and make a pretty good version (for a gringo). I also like veal sweetbreads. I think it's the egg batter, deep-fried aspect of this I find unappealing. Perhaps it needs a nice veal reduction sauce with a hint of thyme and a splash of madeira? | |
