I remember looking forward tothe morning we would have them. This went on until one day I asked my Dad what was in them. He said brains and eggs. I never ate them again. I'm 62 years old now, and I have a fond memory for this dish. It was good eating then and I'm sure it is now as well. The dish was a common dish to farmers in the South and for that matter all over the country. On farms nothing was left off the table were it came to foods. Growing up in the city I didn't realize that until many years later. Now I can only imagine how much we all missed growing up away from the farm. Thank for reminding me of the old days were most of your food from home and not from fast food chemicals. This as a child was one of my favorite thing to eat.

Gramma has been dead for too many years, and I was too stupid to ask how to cook these. Pork Brains are just as good, and no mcd to worry about. Chris

Would you use a regular chefs knife to dice the brain, or do you have a particular utensil of choice? Hi Chris.

I gotta think that the folks that have been cooking that stuff for years (at least here in the South), from taco trucks to bbq shacks, would get a kick out of knowing that the stuff they have been eating for years is now 'haute' cuisine! Heck, I just saw a blog that had chicken tails as an app!!! Gotta love it- Frank in Austin Good reads.
