BLAM!!!!!
Somehow the "milk gravy" makes that so, So, SO, much worse.
I agree - but calling it Brain pudding really wouldn't help either.Somehow the "milk gravy" makes that so, So, SO, much worse.

They might have better luck with Brain-tan in a Can...
Find a local abattoir. They'll probably be happy to get rid of 'em....It was a great place to get brains for tanning...
I'll just leave this here....I don't know where her toilet is. If home she lives in her truck... Must be a hundred tons of kitty litter in the back...
Why did you stop her? I just hope she didn't reproduce.My friend from down south hated that I head shot squirrels. He loved the brains. Then I read about a guy that died soon after consuming them. I had to stop the woman down the road from making stock from deer spines. She is not right anyway. She has no water in her house either and I don't know where her toilet is. If home she lives in her truck. Full of junk and garbage too. Must be a hundred tons of kitty litter in the back. 3,000 cans in the yard from cat food. Then the paper plates. Lawn mowers go bad so she buys another. Yard is full of rotting riding mowers. Then the plastic buildings full of junk. Snow breaks them every year.
Excerpt from a 1997 article about the problem:Grew up eating stuff like that( lower alabama), cant do it with the variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (VKJD) now. Saw one report where guy came down with it eating squirrel brains.

Doctors in Kentucky have issued a warning that people should not eat squirrel brains, a regional delicacy, because squirrels may carry a variant of mad cow disease that can be transmitted to humans and is fatal.
Although no squirrels have been tested for mad squirrel disease, there is reason to believe that they could be infected, said Dr. Joseph Berger, chairman of the neurology department at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Elk, deer, mink, rodents and other wild animals are known to develop variants of mad cow disease that collectively are called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
In the last four years, 11 cases of a human form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, have been diagnosed in rural western Kentucky, said Dr. Erick Weisman, clinical director of the Neurobehavioral Institute in Hartford, Ky., where the patients were treated. "All of them were squirrel-brain eaters," Weisman said. Of the 11 patients, at least six have died.
Within the small population of western Kentucky, the natural incidence of this disease should be one person getting it every 10 years or so, Weisman said. The appearance of this rare brain disease in so many people in just four years has taken scientists by surprise.
While the patients could have contracted the disease from eating beef and not squirrels, there has not been a single confirmed case of mad cow disease in the United States, Weisman said. Since every one of the 11 people with the disease ate squirrel brains, it seems prudent for people to avoid this practice until more is known, he said.
The warning, describing the first five cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, will appear in Saturday's issue of The Lancet, a British medical publication.
The disease in humans, squirrels and cows produces holes in brain tissue. Human victims become demented, stagger and typically die in one or two years. The people who died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Kentucky were between 56 and 78, lived in different towns and were not related, Weisman said.
The cause of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies is hotly debated. Many scientists believe that the infectious agent is a renegade protein, called a prion, which can infect cells and make copies of itself. Others argue that a more conventional infectious particle causes these diseases but that it has not yet been identified. In either case, the disease can be transmitted from one animal to another by the eating of infected brain tissue.
Such diseases were considered exotic and rare until 10 years ago, when an outbreak occurred among British cattle. Tens of thousands of animals contracted a bovine variant called mad cow disease, and their meat along with bits of brain tissue was sold as hamburger. Thus far 15 people in Britain have died of a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that they seemed to have contracted from eating infected meat.
Most people with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are elderly, but the British victims were all young, which alarmed public-health officials. The outbreak in western Kentucky has occurred in older people, Weisman said, "which makes me think there may have been an epidemic 30 years ago in the squirrel population."
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies have a long latency period, he said, which means many people in the South may be at risk and not know it.

There are people who go nuts over bone marrow (my old man was one'f them), and that can be a lot of work for even less.not more than a couple of good scoops of brain there...
It is a tasty treat - a goodly amount is present in the large bones of the leg.There are people who go nuts over bone marrow (my old man was one'f them), and that can be a lot of work for even less.
Another tasty treat is stuffed Deer heart - the mother of a friend filled the cavity (trim away the valves and blood vessel roots) with stuffing and cooked the heart in a pressure-cooker. Delicious!It is a tasty treat - a goodly amount is present in the large bones of the leg.
