This is a sensitive food taboo topic in western cultures but I thought I’d share it anyway.
Brain meat is actually a good source of omega 3 and I work with a local butcher to source lamb and beef brain.
I realize that there’s a weirdness factor here if you didn’t grow up with it, but as adults we can have the conversation.
If you’ve never tried it, how do you know it’s not delicious? this is a delicacy that you can look for in specialty restaurants to see if you like it. If you’re adventurous, you can try it breaded (I use egg, protein powder or pork rinds) and fried in ghee.
I’ll end by saying that prior to the western “ewww” factor that came with a massive migration to processed foods that don’t look like food, even western cultures looked to healthy animal fats and especially organ meats for nutrition. The “mad cow” protein folding disease scare also caused panic but it’s been sorted out for a decade.
Just sharing an alternate viewpoint and potentially helping expand our collective palette.
