I ordered something that sounded like anglette of beef – a piece of meat from near the diaphragm apparently – as room service, over the phone. It came with a small white-ish thing in the middle of the plate, wrapped in what looks like some kind of noodle.
I ate a bit, wondering what it was – tasted sort of like fat but soft and melt in the mouth really. Curious, I investigated further, with the unpleasant thought that it might be brain. Well, in the middle of it there's a centre that seems to have some red streaks and some kind of slightly sinewy reddish streaks in it, which really made me think it was brain.
Now I'm normally not squeamish about this kind of thing (although I am fussy when it comes to salad vegetables) but I am finding myself having to MTFU a bit to finish the rest of the meal. Part of me also wants to eat the brain, but another part of me might barf if I do.
