SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the controversial deep-fried cow brain sandwiches served at the Hilltop Inn in Evansville, Indiana, on January 13, 2004. Despite concerns over mad cow disease, customers continue to consume this dish, which has sparked significant debate regarding food safety and public perception. Participants express disgust and question the safety of eating such items, comparing it to the consumption of salmonella-infested chicken, which poses a different risk profile. The conversation highlights the cultural and psychological factors influencing food choices amid health crises.

omg

1) that looks like the most disgusting hamburger.. ever!
2) who eats something which is likely go give you a very said chronic progressive disease?

Yes, we eat salmonelle infestered chicken, but the bacterium dies when heated and if we get sick, you're most likely going to be better in a weeks time!
 
And why is 6 sandwhich's worth of protein stuffed on a single bun??
 
It for some reason reminds me of the conservative minister here in the UK who, at the start of BSE-CJD crisis fed his daughter a hamburger on live TV to show how "safe" it was.
 
looks appetising...NOT, well monique if the thread was still around, you could add it to your 'Disgusting things that we eat' link.

Crazy.
