Brain matter, a delicacy..in the US?
I found these quotes to be very interesting
"What cow brains are used for are what they call 'meat byproducts,' in things like hot dogs and bologna."
In the American South, especially places like Kentucky, squirrel brain is considered a delicacy, though there is some evidence of a "mad squirrel disease" from eating them.
"The USDA needs to take brain and spinal cord out from the food supply all together," said Will Hueston, veterinarian at the University of Minnesota.
But Bronz said some meat companies might be reluctant to give up brain matter.
"Brains are a real good filler," she said. "If you can grind them into meat ... they won't disturb the taste of the muscle meat."
-Enjoy
