Eating pig/pork brains out of a can. Yay or nay?

[SweetTalker]

Scrolling thru Amazon deals, I stumbled upon something that frightened me and made me immediately gag, yet intrigued me enough to look more into it. I present to you, pork brains (with milk gravy)

Here’s a video of a British lad basically doing an “unboxing” type of video, even cooking the brains with scrambled eggs. 
 

 

So, ATRL, would you like to try this so called “southern delicacy”?

What do you mean by vegan substitutes

[Heldenzeit]

I don't eat meat so no, to me the thought of it is gross.

[Pendulum]

Out of a can, no. If they were cooked fresh, yes.

 

Some Americans and Europeans are way too squeamish over offal meats like liver, kidney, tripe, and hearts. They are cheap and delicious if you know how to cook them properly.

i don't eat pork so i wouldn't eat this but i wouldn't be disgusted or share any negative opinions about others eating it.

I tried brain once the texture is weird. I wouldn't have it again.

Eating brains can expose you to prions. And prions can’t be killed by any household cooking. Having prions is the worst way to die. So some animals have it worse, like cows.

Okay, Mr Food Science

What the heck does that have to do with anything? I am just saying that eating brains increases your risk of getting a prion. That video has nothing to do with that. Reading isn’t hard  

[Archetype]

That’s like asking me if I want to eat a can of dirt.  No.  People ate this stuff because they were too poor to afford more quality cuts, and now it’s just a delicacy for people who think they’re special.

because the texture of sausages is entirely different

Loooove eating all of that. Brings back childhood memories for me

[Avenue]

Pork Brain Gravy is a street food in my City so it’s nothing new for me.

[ScorpiosGroove]

i ate crocodile meat once and it tasted like weird soggy chicken… i’d imagine this having a similar texture so no 

 

ostrich is pretty good tho 

[aesthetic bih]

it looks scary... but personally havent tried it

You don’t have to be poor to eat brains or other organs like liver, kidneys, stomach, intestines. To me it’s mostly utilizing and using the whole animal after killing it. Plus a lot of organ meat is delicious. I personally did not enjoy brain, I don’t like fatty foods with a “soap” texture. 
 

Lobsters were also considered “poor” people food because they are bottom feeders and were served in prisons. Look at them now.

Disgusting. 

[Vixen Eyes]

never. i wouldnt even eat cow tongue growing up. plus im mostly dairy free pescatarian for a few years now

[Bloo]

I would rather go vegan.

It's definitely a hard pass for me, but this isn't surprising at all. People eat whatever around here, as it is. If this was on store shelves, I'm sure it'd be moving fairly regularly.
