I LOOOVE PIGS BRAIN fried with eggs and ginger!! My mom made that when I was a kid. However, it’s advised not to eat it as an adult because it’s very high in cholesterol. Sigh…

We are a few brain preparations in the Philipines. But there’s a time and a place.
Last Sat. I lay bed (in Manila) with a bad case of stomach flu (no, it wasn’t street food). Dave informed the folks who were to drive us to the airport (a kindly, grandparent-type Filipino couple) we’d be delaying departure for a day. The wife half, concerned for me, wanted to ask me if I was OK. When I said I was fine, just a touch of flu, she said, sadly, ‘Ohhh…does this mean you won’t be able to eat the pig brain omelet I cooked for you this morning?’ General nauseousness turned into a dire need to vomit and I couldn’t get off the phone fast enough.
I’m not I’ll ever be able to eat brains again.

Brain, properly prepared, is delicious. As are sweetbreads. Here in France, we eat both and we are known for being great intellectuals!

As for pig brains, I’ve never had them, but pigs very intelligent animals. More so than “Man’s best friend”, so that should be some good brain food!

I love pig’s brain omelette, not monkey brains not in a million years! I also love pig brains soup brewed in a lot of julienne of ginger. Maybe it’s because the pig’s brain in never used, that is why ppl believe it still has lots of memory power in it. he he he!!!!

Team BSG, eek!! flying animals and the rest of those u mentioned … doesn’t go well with me.

I grew up on pig brain omelets and I’ve very brainy. Of course, I didn’t find out what was in them until many many years later. Mom was sneaky…

Yummy, I miss the paper thosai from Malaysia! There is a place in Penang, Malaysia which sells the “paper” thosai in two sizes -The Star or NST. It was hillarious when the guy asked me what paper do I want.

Speaking of which, your omelet looks similar to that brain picture. :)
Though, that is a completely turn off thing to think about if you are going to eat it.
