63 - Try Brains
I’m getting to the end of my ‘Try Food’ goal. This one was difficult. At first I did not know what foods contained brains. Immediately the vision goes to a scene in Indiana Jones.
That is not what it’s like.
I did research. Food Network folks didn’t respond. Finally found some clues on Wikipedia.
The food I decided to go with is Tacos de Sesos. Essentially brain tacos. Only a couple places had it on their menu and when I went they didn’t have it available.
Tonight I found a place. I ordered one taco and a standard carne asada burrito (in case I couldn’t handle it).
The result. Not bad.
The flavor was very beef-like. It was very chewy, like chewing on soft gristle. I finished it, I might have it again. Online I heard that it is often cooked until it is very soft, like mashed potatoes. That might be better.
