Louie's Finest - a bit gross

Not for the faint hearted -
We were in a French market, looking for some food for the week. They sold the wierdest stuff - half the seafood deli things were still moving - snails and live prawns, lobsters and langoustines (bit like mini prawns).
And then there was the counter that sold horse meat. All different parts of a horse, half of which I couldn't translate, but there was no mistaking one bit - horse's brain.
I'm not too sure why but I took a photo as evidence, thinking of how Louie would serve it and of course thinking how I couldn't NOT tell the UTM board that clearly people in France already eat the dish.
Rather than post it directly and gross everyone out (and partly because I never did suss out how to do that), here's the link...

Now I wonder what sauce it would go with...

I've had Monkey Brains before, they aren't all that bad really, actually they were quite good... Have yet to find them here in the states though...

The subject matter reminds me of a live track by Tom Waits appropriately titled
Dog Treat:
Thanks, uh... You know uh, this is weird uh...
Most of us have dogs, allright? (applause)
I don't know if it's a local thing where I live, or if it's everywhere, and I'm checking it with you because uh, I don't get in the area that often and I'm just checking to see if...
There's a new kind of a dog treat. And uh (where I live) and they're available in the pet store and for the longest time I just thought that it was some kind of a prank. Or uh...
I wasn't really sure what it was, until I read the label on the back and it said "Bull Penis" (laughter).
I was a little shocked! I know you can get just about ANYTHING in this world.
You can get a whale's pancreas if you'd want one! I can get you one! (laughter)
But com'on, a bull's penis! How busy they were their whole lives.
And they throw it to a dog, like that, for a snack! (laughter)
Now, are they available here in the Los Angeles area? They are, aren't they?
Doesn't that make you a little weazy?
Makes you wanna live a long time.
And on the back, on the bottom it said: "100% natural"!
I mean... that's the part that really got me. And it said: "A Real Meat Snack".
There's just no dignity in that. Uh, anyway...
The other thing is that they're 36 inches long! (laughter).
They're so long they had to cut them into bite-size portions.
And then they take two of them and braid them together.
I know, I know! I never want it done. But uh...
This is a song written for Gregory Peck for his dating my mom...
That's a lie!

Yes Monkey Brains... After seeing them eat it in Indiana Jones I had to find out if it was a real Delicacy and once I did I had to try it... They actually served it in the skull of the monkey, that was a little unsettling but still quite good...
