Bruin Fisher Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 A particularly gruesome story, as befits a Halloween anthology! I don't quite know what to say about this story - very well written, with sympathetic characters despite their being, well, undead... Thanks Graeme! Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Captivating story. Well-written, uncomfortably authentic-sounding. C Link to comment

Steven Adamson Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Really liked this. My kind of story. Gruesome humor and clever interweaving of plot and character elements. Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 This story was gruesomely fantastic! The descriptions were so vivid I could almost taste the brains. Yum! Link to comment
Graeme Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thank you, everyone! This is a case of having a title and then finding a story to go with it. I had to tone it down, though, because my early ideas involved Aber leaving a swag of brainless dead bodies behind. I eventually decided that was too gruesome, even if it means that Hun, Won & Lo's delivery boy service may have financial troubles in the future. Link to comment

Graeme Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Since the topic has been raised, I thought I'd share a recipe for fried brains. Not one of Aber's favourites, since he prefers fresh, but I'm sure it is better than frozen... http://www.food.com/recipe/fried-lamb-brains-440335 Link to comment
Merkin Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 OOh, cooking stuff! I love cooking discussions...Try this: Brain Soup (Hirnsuppe) A traditional German recipe that is surprisingly simple, if you have some brains around the house. 1 calf’s brain2 tbls butter1 qt beef Stock1 egg yolk1 cup creamflour To wash brain clear of blood, soak in cold water, renewing water several times. Skin and chop fine. Melt butter in pan, add brain, sprinkle with flour, and saute 10 minutes. Add beef stock and simmer 20 minutes. Just before serving, stir in egg yolk and cream.

Steven Adamson Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 True story: As a kid my second favorite breakfast was fried cow brains. Very fluffy texture.People around here stopped eating brains when the mad cow scare hit in the nineties and it never came back into style. Some are still scared of the disease others are too young to have gotten a taste for it. Happy Halloween, everyone, especially John, our webmaster, who I'm sure is out trick-or-treating right now.
