Brain sandwiches deep fried like you describe were once popular in some local taverns in Indiana...but never could bring myself to try one...no matter now much beer I consumed..!!
It's a heritage thing. :nod:
I sincerely doubt I'd ever try them (the brains, that is) if I haven't been born in the family that finds it "just normal" food. We grow the pig, we kill the pig.. we eat the pig (with brain and all) lol
 
All those so called "fat is bad" diseases.. pure fiction! lol

Pearl Cantrell, 105-Year-Old Woman, Says Bacon Is Key To Longevity

A 105-year-old Texas woman who worked a life of physical labor and mothered seven children revealed the secret to her longevity: bacon.
"I love bacon, I eat it everyday," Pearl Cantrell told NBC affiliate KRBC when asked the secret to living so long. "I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say," Cantrell added.
Cantrell, who lives in central Texas and still dances, also told KRBC that her 105th birthday party was a three-day affair with more than 200 guests.

When Oscar Mayer found out about Cantrell's love of bacon, it sent one of its iconic Wienermobiles to make a bacon delivery to Cantrell's home. (You can watch video of Cantrell riding around her Texas town in the Wienermobile on local CBS affiliate KHOU.)
There's been some research to back up Cantrell's claim about the health benefits of bacon. A University of Zurich study published by the journal BMC Medicine in March found that eating little or no red meat can be a risk factor for early death. However, the same study found that eating too much bacon increases the risk of bowel cancer. (The study analyzed the diets of more than 400,000 people between the ages of 35 and 69.)

I'm not wild on the cheese, either.
Aha! You're also in the "I'll pass the cheese" club. :nod:

Anyone who has the Wiener Mobile show up in front of their house AND it gives them free bacon deserves emulation. :p Bacon for longevity!

Geez, I have enough of that around my house. I am the only one who can eat milk based products. My wife and sons are all lactose intolerant. It was lousy finding that out after they got past the baby stage. :rolleyes: Suuuuurrreee... babies can't have allergies....riiiggghhhttt. Moron doctor!
