Anyone know a good place for brains on the menu? (European client in town)
- Thread starter Klute
- Start date
I think I went to a Chinese restaurant on high7 and leslie. They serve anything from cow tongues to pig brains.
Reading the title I was going to recommend Becky (best brains in town , however getting increasingly harder to book) But now I see your literally looking for brains.
Wish I could be of more help other than reiterating whet someone above said. East beaver creek is the spot to eat brains.

If from europe i doubt that your European friend would be looking for a chinese restaurant. he is likely looking for something like au pied de cochon in montreal or similar here , i dont know of a similar place here but we are getting closer style places now w some of the younger chefs .
If you have the budget, Id call up Via Allegro and ask them if they could prepare a meal for you . They have the atmosphere, style and chefs to pull together something funky like offal or brains or balls ... http://www.viaallegroristorante.com
Ive eaten this way in Madrid (all bull, not pig) and it is a whole experience (intentionally) !!

Eating animal brains and spinal cords is associated with mad cow disease.
A human version of mad cow disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is believed to be caused by eating beef products contaminated with central nervous system tissue, such as brain and spinal cord, from cattle infected with mad cow disease. For this reason, the USDA requires that all brain and spinal cord materials be removed from high-risk cattle -- older cattle, animals that are unable to walk, and any animal that shows any signs of a neurological problem. These cow products do not enter the U.S. food supply. The USDA believes this practice effectively safeguards U.S. public health from vCJD.

In Viet Nam, chilled monkey brains was popular...... along with fish-heads and rice.....:eyebrows:
Calves' brains in black butter used to be a standard menu item in the Hungarian places on Bloor west of Spadina before the Mad Cow Scare. Sadly the places and their menu option are both gone.

The best Indian/Pakistani food there is. I believe they have Goat Brains on the menu. Very authentic place (often will sit you in patio furniture... inside).
