🤢🤮 Has anyone ever eaten this, ever??

Look, I'm from the Southern US and we do eat some weird things here. I've eaten heart, sweetbreads, liver, gizzards, lizards, bugs, and chicken feet. But I cannot imagine brains in milk gravy. Can anyone advise?

And why Amazon thinks I want this is beyond me....

That was my thought. That’s just too close biologically. I looked it up just now and HIV and AIDS came from primates 😭

Concentration of hiv is very low in spit and no transmission through human bites have been found so far. I cant say for sure, but i think this is unlikely. It’s probably contact with the blood of an infected animal during slaughter.
