Has anyone here eaten brains? I know of beef brains served as sesos from Mexican taco places, and of mixing pork brains and eggs. Never tried it though, what's its like? Is it good? I hate liver, is it like that?

Like this guy said, it was mushy and not really a pleasant food texture. Taste was fine. Prions are definitely a cause for concern, and I wouldn't make a habit out of it. Probably the worst "meat" filling option available.

i did and i was a bit afraid of getting prions like mad cow disease and brain damage, however the risk is so low and the flavor is unique, so try it once at least. i did, but i was a bit afraid of getting prions like mad cow disease and brain damage but the risk is low.

I ate sheep brains one time when I was pretty young, my dad told me it was scrambled eggs. Don't really even remember how it tasted, but once I found out what it was I didn't want to try it again. Same thing happened to me with eating a sushi roll with unagi/eel.

It's pasty but not really mealy or grainy like liver. The taste is whatever you want it to be but by itself is fine, like beef if mashed potatos were an organ. Shouldn't try it if you don't like liver but I recommend at least tasting it if you get the chance. Get it deep fried.

It's hard to explain, it's very unique. But it's very meaty and has a strong smell like beef marrow or steak fat, but it is completely lean not greasy. It has a nice crunchy chew that is very satisfying. I would recommend trying it in menudo or pho soups.

I also like liver but I wouldn't say brain is anywhere near as overpowering as liver can be, although it depends on where you get your meat from anyway.
Liver is great in a stir fry, with some rice, a little chili sauce. You just need to get it whole from a butcher and chop it up, thin slices for stir fry, thick for a quick pan sear with just s&p. Chicken liver is cool too. I love liver.
Oh and for brain just dredge in coating of choice and fry for a couple of minutes.

This is not how prion disease works. It's like saying wood can't catch fire from burning coal, because they are different things. Prions are misfolded proteins that cause other proteins that come in contact with them to become misfolded as well. Humans eating cow meat contaminated with "Mad cow disease" prions catch it as well (Variant-CJ disease) . Nobody truly knows how many cases of TSE really occur, due to lack of adequate testing.

I usually pan-fry liver on low out here in the west where my only experience with it was from my montengrin friend's family. whats the best way to cook it on the grill? I'll definitely try it out. and what do you pair it with? onions are obvious, but I usually prefer to pair it with fried potatoes

Not since they warned of the risks of connective tissue, spinal fluid, and brain association with CJD, aka mad cow prion disease. It is not worth the risk.
>what's its like? Is it good? I hate liver, is it like that?
It has a strong mineral/iron flavor, very much like liver. People eat brains for the mushy texture more than the flavor. Don't bother. It's a dangerous food. They're not even allowed to feed it to animals.

I've had pork brains a few times. My Chinese gf loves it. That 'delicacy' that only became such probably due to times of austerity and famine.

It tastes savory and melts in your mouth. there isn't a lot of "bite" to it. It can be a little mushy. I've had it prepared in boiling water for 30 minutes, and also simmered with salty, water with some oil and seasonings. It's really not that bad, but I should probably stop eating it to avoid the prion or whatever.

Liver is high in protein and cheap.

However, it's also extremely high in iron and other vitamins, so even eating the appropriate serving size vastly exceeds the recommended daily amount for those nutrients. Also, regular consumption of organ meats is associated with developing gout. I'm concerned about ever eating liver for that reason.
