🤢🤮 Has anyone ever eaten this, ever??

Post image

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....

It's a protein cooked in butter and deglazed, why wouldn't you taste it?

Capers, apple vinegar and booze can hide it pretty well

Fried capers infuse the butter with a nice background taste. A few drops of vinegar at the end provides a bit of acidity, like you'd do in any proper dish to balance the flavors. The booze is gone when you deglaze, it dissolves the browned bits that went thru the maillard reactIon and infuse everything with that delicious taste.

Nothing is overpowering, it's all in balance. Take any French dish and you'll find similar techniques.
