I'm afraid I just don't get that kind of thinking... surely if it's 
delicious, it's delicious.

I looked up a recipe for scrambled eggs and brains-- it actually sounds 
pretty good to me.

I'll have to see what I can find.

I don't know about US regulations, but I think around here I can still 
get frozen lambs' brains, and fresh hogs' brains if I ask the butcher 
for some, but sheeps' lungs are off the market completely, which rather 
spoils my haggis-making dreams.
