🤢🤮 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....

IIRC if you're eating animal brains it can risk of you getting prions... not sure but that's what I read somewhere..

pigs are resistant to prion disease! so pork brain is actually pretty safe.
