Why do zombies eat brains?

[Wag]

Why not livers? Or kidneys? How about colons? Why not hearts?

Modern zombies eat everything. They tear people apart and eat every bit of them.

They seem to like brains, thats how it has always been in the movies. Don't wonder why, just run.

They think that by eating brains they would get smarter and hence not wander around so slowly and aimlessly

edit: I think it's only return of the lviing dead series where zombies eat brains, no?

This is true.

Relevant website.

This brain is tender, juicy, and full of all the neurotransmitters a young, growing, bloodthirsty zombie needs. The Frontal and Occipital lobes are particularly tender, making for an excellent roast, or diced for a quick snack. The cortical mantle is highly convoluted; the crest of a single convolution is known as a gyrus, while the fissure between two gyri is known as a sulcus. And you know how good that sulcus can be... Isn't your mouth watering already? The frontal lobe, largest of all the lobes of the brain (and great for when you have guests over for dinner), lies rostral to the central sulcus (that is, toward the nose from the sulcus). The precentral gyrus, located rostral to the central sulcus, constitutes the primary motor region of the brain, which, as we all know, makes for a great party dip when blended with a superior parietal lobule.

I think they eat everything, it's just the brains are the tastiest part. At least that's what all my Zombie friends tell me.

Isnt it obvious? Have you ever seen any smart zombies? No, because before they turn into a zombie their brains are eaten.... Its their means to continue the species.

But liver is higher in potassium.

 

[Parasitic]

I think it's more or less symbolic - zombies are the living undead who has all bodily functions besides the ability to think, judge, and decide.
Thus zombies "hunting" for brains seem to be a logical thing to portray.

 

[FrustratedUser]

I just like it. The creamy fatty texture just 0wnzz j000!

 

[Unheard]

Because they are hungry.

I concur.

 

[Genx87]

Because they crave brains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wag]

Yeah, but you'd think the dead can't afford to be picky.

Zombies can be so fickle sometimes.

:music:If only I had a brain...:music:

 

[lokiju]

It makes 'em smarter!!!!!

Pig and monkey brains are yummy.

 

[Legendary]

Next time you see one...ask.

 

[BKLounger]

Wasn't there some movie said that zombies were in constant torment from some sound or voice in their head and brains were the only thing that could silence the sounds or voice for the time while they were eating the brain.
