.The adventurous part of me ordered fried brain for dinner. With a side of fries ‘just in case.’   When it arrived it looked like this:

Kind of egg roll looking. Definitely battered and fried.

The inside was slightly gray and sort of mushy. So far so good. Several of my teammates were very interested in how it was, so I waited until most of them were paying attention somewhere else before I took the first bite. The last thing I wanted was to have people see me be sick if I didn’t like it!

The bite went in. You might think it would be slimy feeling but it wasn’t at all. I want to say kind of like tuna salad, but not exactly. It tasted very much like I remember liver tasting.

Apparently my face got very red while I was trying to determine whether or not I liked it.

In case you’re still wondering, I did not like it at all.  Taking a page out of my old ‘I really cannot eat this book,’ I grabbed my glass of water. And then I had to convince myself that I really could swallow without vomiting.  Once that was accomplished, down it went with a fast chaser of water.

My roommate was sitting across from me and said there was no way to really tell I didn’t like it. Whew!  So I munched on my fries and the team leader ordered a bowl of vegetable soup.

The soup was phenomenal.
