[Sca-cooks] was mad cow... now brain sandwiches

[Ana Valdés]

My grandfather was a veterinary and a chemist. He had a laboratory in 
our home and my mother and him made an elixir for the memory based on 
brains. I can't eat brains myself, since I have too fresh in my memory 
all these coppar pots with simmerings brains, yuck...
