Brain soup

Yummy! you gotta get me the recipe for that!!! lol

Anyways the course your on looks like a rolling trials set-up, I should make something like that in my backyard, be nice to just walk about 50 feet and have your own rolling trials course awaiting for you =p

if people are interested I can provide a recipe for lamb’s brain moroccan style: that’s awesome!
now your story reminds me of another one:
My dad was a geologist who sometime lived on the rough in far away countries, but, as a frenchman, he had always a wonderful table open to guests.
So one day there came a bunch of american geologists who were hungry (and thirsty: this was in the Sahara) and in the evening the table was set up (white linen, beautiful kitchenware, rich wines …) and there came the main course … Hmmm it tasted good and smelled even better… the guests liked it…
Alas one asked what it was: it was goat balls! (how do you say a male goat in english?) the poor chaps were unable to continue eating :frowning:

I’ve dissected brains (human) in anatomy class; which is well renowned for making students hungry. But eating a real brain…Eeeww :astonished: There must have been interesting miming going on.

Sounds like a fun ride though!

I think Goat balls are a delicacy in Iceland (or it could be sheep testicles, I can’t remember). I tried their rotten shark instead (and I still have the aftertaste 3yrs later).

I believe the Hoovers had rat-on-a-stick during the Laos tour.

Ah, maybe Kris had testicles rather than brains.
Over here we have Rocky Mountain Oysters which are bull (cow) testicles. They probably have similar dishes in Taiwan.

I wonder if cooked testicles could possibly look like brains?

definitely yes if you use sheep testicles and shred them

I actually think it’s the sheep’s eyes that are a delicacy, I remember seeing something on the discovery channel about them saving the eye for the tribe elder or something. Could also just be that they hate the tribe elder, or that he has to sacrifice himself for the tribe…

oh come on: snails and stinking cheese ARE good (I am not fond of frogs) … but this is only what’s on the front store. Next time you come, just drop by and will let you eat really eerie things :astonished: (or I can post you a picture)

Just for your information Mr. Bear, goat refers to either sex, nanny goat refers specifically to female, and billy goat to male, although the difference is very rarely noted unles you are a goat farmer.

or unless you have to run for your life because of an angry/stinking/montruously big goat:) (happened to me)

Is that when they urinate on the carcass before burying it for a good while?

Goats may have an opinion on this too.

At a breakfast buffet in a posh Spanish hotel a few years ago I helped myself to a big heap of what looked like scrambled eggs. No, it was scrambled brains in garlic. Not good at that time of the day. :astonished:

Also in Spain (funny country, Spain) we noticed that supermarkets sold sheep testicles in packs of three. They must have odd sheep. Very cheap bollocks however - they worked out at about €0.10 each.

Is that sick as in disgusting, or sick as in the word that seems to have
replaced wicked in the juvenile lexicon of cool? EMWTK.

Morally wrong? Hah…

I was told that I was eating cat testicles once… this was at unicon x in china. I think they were kidding, but then again, this was in china.

Ah, the two people that bring all of us unicyclists our best and most affordable unicycles. KH unicycles (and other equipment) and the UDC branded stuff. I hope your accomplishments in your travels to Taiwan bring us even greater unicycle equipment in the coming years.

No, not morally wrong. I’d consider it more healthfully wrong given the current understanding of prions which can possibly be spread by the eating of brain tissue.

I’d feel better if the soup was made from testicles rather than brains.

you can eat people, just not people brains. you can die from human brains. but yeah i digress. i’d eat brains just not the people variety.

I think I would feel sicker to my stomach if I was eating testicle than if I was eating brain, but in the long run it would probably be healthier, yes.
however, being a vegetarian, sometimes, I wouldn’t eat either (:
why is this in RSU?

Food for thought!

I know Kris (and Nathan, and many others) ate snake and dog when we were in China…
