Beef Brains

When I was a little kid growing up in Hawaii, I had heard a rumor that you could get tacos made up of cow brains in Mexico. Years later I found out that the brains are called Sesos.
I had talked to many taco-eaters since I've lived here in Southern CA and they all say "I don't eat that shit, holmes." I don't know a single person who's actually ever tried it. I seen it on the menu at Taco Loco #3 down the street from me. Every time I went there, they never had any. I kept asking and one day they had it. So guess what? Of course I got it.
I hate to say it tasted like chicken but fuck, it did. It tasted like chicken-flavored tofu actually. It wasn't that good... I probably wouldn't order it again. But I ate that whole taco though. Insane in the membrane - insane in the brain!

Way to be adventurous, Nelson...I love me some "sweetbreads" myself...If you didn't like the tacos, find yourself a hip little French bistro in town and try them...Lightly breaded and sauteed, they are delicious...Sweetbreads and a little foie gras, and you too will soon be sporting a French beret...

A votre sante!

I have to correct myself. It had a chicken-ish taste, but had the texture of fake meat that's made out of tofu.

I had my first cow brain tacos a couple months back in HB. My buddies hispanic and from Fresno. He said he wanted some real authentic Mexican so I took him to a hole in the wall place and he ordered us up some cow brain and pig intestine tacos. Not all that bad but wouldn't order it on my own. But at least I can say I had it.
