No. No. No. Too many food issues.
Do people not consider the prion diseases are an issue from eating brain?

I've tried them when I was in Argentina. They eat snout to tail down there and kind of peer pressured me into trying them. The texture was really off for me but the taste wasn't bad.
One and done!

unless I was on the Amazing Race, or Bear Grylls offered to cook them up naked for me, I would not. When I was a kid, we ate "rocky mountain oysters" which, being from MD, I should have known there were no freaking mountain oysters. They were bull balls, and I was pissed I was lied to. I didn't think they were that awful, but I just don't think you should do that to a kid. Rocky Mountain Oysters are big in Colorado. I rank that up there with brains. NOPE. i always said I would LOVE to be on Amazing Race.. the food thing would bring me down. I would attempt heights, jumps, whatever... but not food.

Not a f#$%ing chance. I enjoy just about all food, and there is not much that I don't eat..... offal and oysters are the only two things that I refuse to eat. I find the thought of eating organs to be absolutely repugnant. And yes, I have eaten liver and kidney as a child. My dad told me a story about eating a sandwich one time, and it was really delicious, so he asked the person whose house he was at, what was in the sandwich. They told him it was creamed brains. (Even typing those words out makes me want to puke.) Dad thought to himself "Oh, well I guess I like eating brains" and then the next second, he realised that he could not take another bite.

I love liver and kidneys and logically eating brain should be no different but I’m not sure I could.

slightly O/T but have y'all had sweetbreads and bone marrow? I had lamb sweetbreads once and never again, but I love bone marrow on toast.

I seem to be the outlier here. lol. I wouldn't eat them today with everything we know about possible disease. But, when I lived in Burkina Faso many years ago (1981-1985) I ate them a lot. I don't actually know what kind -- either goat/sheep or cow -- but I remember like them very much. My first year in my village I was the only white person there, but during my second year two young French women arrived to teach at a nearby Catholic school, with France's version of the Peace Corps. Being good French women they valued their food, lol, so through the school they found a guy who cooked. They hired him to cook a big lunch five days a week and they invited me to be part of this arrangement. Brains appeared regularly on that table. I had never heard of eating them, but however that guy cooked them was excellent. Of course none of us had heard of mad cow disease then. I would definitely eat them now if I could be assured 100% that there was no possibility of diseases.

I have eaten brain tacos (I live in MX) but prefer tongue if an organ meat and prefer regular old pastor above all.
Not even close to the weirdest thing I’ve eaten to be honest.

I probably have eaten stuff when I was a young child that I would not consider eating today. An early memory was the butchering of a hog on a big butcher table that was in the big kitchen in the old farm house (1964ish). I remember getting the pig tail to play with. Also, my grandfather blowing out the intestines as this was the casing for the homemade sausages that were made the next day. I was the youngest and my siblings were in school. Who knows what was hidden in what

I accidentally ate brain tacos in Mexico. I didn’t know the term ‘sesos.’ I’ve eaten most other cow parts, so I figured it was probably something I’d already eaten. It was fine. Granted, it was loaded with salsa, guac, onions and cilantro. But, I’ve never had sesos again. So there is that.

Are you Laura Ingalls Wilder? 😂 No, but looking back it may have seen so. My grandparents came over from Germany after the war and well, some traditions were brought with them. I only remember this one incident. We did have indoor plumbing and heat. To think that I've gone from that situation to living in a condo with all the technology that is now available, my life has gone 180 as far as living conditions.
