Yesterday I ate bheja masala, which is basically curried sheep's brains. I can now cross "brains" off the list of foods to eat before I die.
As far as taste goes, it's slightly underwhelming. Mind you, the version I had came in a heavily spiced gravy, but it tastes a bit like boiled egg-whites. Perhaps this has something to do with the general ineptitude of sheep; perhaps human brains have a sharper taste.
And yes, I did spend much of the meal fighting the urge to say "Braaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiinnns...." with my eyes upturned and my limp hand prodding forward.

You mean you didnt actually succumb to that urge??? How could you not?
Vishal buddy...if prepared the right way, Bheja masala and chapati (preferably without oil) is a great combo. My mum used to make them superbly and I can still remember going to the market to buy them, once a fortnight! Ha Ha on the comment re: sheep brains vs. human brains!
I think the idea of brains grosses me out only for the fact that you can die from eating them. Yes I know you can die from eating about anything, but your chances goes up w/brains.
