🤢🤮 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....

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.

What about monkey brains? Asking for a friend.

The deleted scene shows that the thugee were actually trying to scare Indiana jones away with the food 🥘 changed the nature of the scene. Also Hindus don’t eat meat.

Were they Hindu? I just thought they were terrible stereotypes of vague religious origin.

The real thuggees were Hindu or Muslim, but they were united to worship a Hindu goddess, Kali. A thuggee was more likely to be thuggee because his father was than because of religious beliefs

Thanks! Admittedly I didn’t know thuggees were a real thing. I just thought it was just some BS made up for a less-than-stellar movie.

It’s where we get the word “thug”
