Seems to me, that if we are going to mention DHA in "Nutritional Composition", then some mention ought to be made of Phosphatidylserine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 23:04, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where this came from

For what it's worth, I created this article today by spinning off material from brain that was perfectly valid but didn't really belong there. Looie496 (talk) 23:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very valid article, actually. I'm a bit shocked it didn't already exist. I reorganized it considerably, and others have already added to it. Very worthwhile topic. I know there are some tribes that eat monkey brain, and many others that can and will get added. PHARMBOY (TALK) 23:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Humans? Come on. This belongs to Cannibalism rather than just "Brain as food". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.97.247.204 (talk) 20:01, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better picture needed

That picture is just nasty. I thought it was cat puke at first. Doesn't someone have a picture of cooked? Thanks. Badanedwa (talk) 03:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with that. I'm not so keen on the picture myself, but, well, good luck. Looie496 (talk) 03:39, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hot dogs?

Are hot dogs made partially with brains? I have heard that and they do have a unique taste. I know this question sounds stupid but if they truly are (at least sometimes) that should be mentioned in the article for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.175.146 (talk) 06:34, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We would need a reputable published source stating that that happens. It strikes me as unlikely. Looie496 (talk) 20:51, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Potential appropriation

The sentence, "In many cultures, different types of brain are considered a delicacy." feels a bit like a throwaway line as it seems to exist solely to address a potential stigma to the topic. In this article, describing brain as "a delicacy" dates back to the earliest edits in 2008, when I feel these sorts of phrases were included and then subsequently glossed over; it may be worth re-evaluating the use of these sorts of expressions that may devalue other cultures. That said, if there was a source that showed that "many" cultures considered brain a delicacy in the true sense, that is to say a rare or luxurious sort of food, then describing brain as a delicacy would be appropriate. --Bluedunenoon (talk) 13:45, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disease?

I'm seeing on various prion-related disease pages that consumption of prions can cause transmission of prion diseases. Does anyone know if consumption of non-human and non-cow brains is linked to the spread of any diseases? I know human and cow brains are linked, but wondering if other brains are also linked to transmission. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 05:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
