25 cents for brains, well damn I'll have some of that. I don't drive though so I'm goosed eh
There's a lot of people out there who should probably go there!
I could be wrong, but I believe they were selling beef brains. Back in the dark ages, the forties and earlier, people used to cook and eat such things. I know my grandparents did, along with pig hocks and lamb's tongues. Tripe (the lining of a cow's stomach) was often on the menu. I'm sure there were a few other delicacies which I've mercifully forgotten. You guys just might not remember when offal was eaten on a regular basis. BTW, some sausage and "other" foods are still made with pig intestines - oh, they rinse 'em out first before filling.
Food was even more interesting back in Medieval times.
My papaw ate squirrel brains until he died this year at age 95.I worked in meat at walmart tripe,oxtail and tongue were still sold. well they were on the shelf most got thrown away.
It looks like it would be awful chewy.We had to cut open the expired packages and dump the meat in a barrel for rendering we had this whole stomach lining that looked like a blanket but smelled like bleached butt.Beef tongue is really good, believe it or not. It comes from the cow. You boil it, then skin it and it tastes just like ham, only sweeter, better.

There’s a fabulous street taco joint here in town that serves spicy beef tongue tacos. I’ve tried them. They’re really tasty — but I can’t get past the texture.
