I had an entire post planned today about life with Jumby and how mind trippingly amazing it is to be the mother to this marvelous little boy.
I was, in short, going to bust out the ole mommy for the mommy blog and pen an ode to parenthood and children with disabilities and how the world will one day be a miraculous place when my little Jumby takes his deserved crown and sits on his throne and reigns supreme as Global Overlord and World leader.
Then I was sidetracked. Apparently, I have the attention span of a two year old on crack. My sentimental train of thought crashed through the guard rails, dove off a cliff and exploded in a rather spectacular imaginary bang of fireworks and flames.
Apparently I may have watched way too many episodes of the original Knight Rider as a child.
With my loving and thoughtful post swirling the drain, I am forced to write about what initially caused the train to jump rails in the first place.
(And I’m not talking about the dirty direct messages and clever tweets my twitter friends use regularly in an effort to waste my life force and preempt any lame blog posts I may have planned.
They are a wily lot my tweeples.)
As I was drinking my coffee and crafting the words to make up my next parental ode, I clicked a link and then another (I think we may have established I am easily distracted) until I stumbled onto this:
Pork Brains: Grey Matter from the Other White meat
There are just no words.
All I can say is thank ALL THAT IS GOOD AND SPARKLY IN THE UNIVERSE that my father did not have access to this product as I grew up.
Spam never looked so good.
Even if my father did cut it up and put it in my mac and cheese.
Things can always get worse. It could have been processed brains.
(But oh, how I wish I could get a hold of a can of this just to FREAK my children out. Imagine the horror. Bwhahaha.)

You’re a cruel, cruel woman. I love it … haha.
Great to hear Jumby is doing well!

Nasty. Pork Brains in Milk Gravy? How can people eat that shit? Everyone knows that Pork Brains are best served in aspic.
witchypoo
My stomach lurched.
Kelley
As I read this Moo came in and asked if I would like her to make me something to eat.
Yeah. No. Now.
*vomit*
And Boo is going to be the ruler of the world. Jumby can sit by his side. Boo has the movie planned already.

Dude, Spam ROCKS. Pork brains , no thank you.

Spam, spam, spam, spam.
Totally gnarly, dude…
Amber
I think you’ve given me nightmares. I can’t believe that there is such a product. I must go and read about daisies and lollipops now to feel clean again.
Jennifer H
In milk gravy, no less. (shudder)
Loralee
DEAR GOD.
I think that is the sickest thing I have ever seen. (Including an autographed head shot of David Hasselhoff in a speedo).
I have massive ADD right now. This pregnancy is fucking with my head. I won’t be surprised if I leave something vital behind, like my boobs, when I’m at BlogHer.
Sigh.

Eugh and to think I thought the time my mom made me eat liver was bad..

My mum used to MAKE me eat brains. She and my sister loved them, and I simply could not get them past my throat without throwing up. Mom would make me sit at the table for hours. And hours. To try and get me to eat those disgusting things. She used to serve it with ketchup. When I read about the milk gravy? I got a little bit nauseated…ugh.
Natasha
Where did you find that? I NEED SOME. That could come in handy for so many occasions. I especially like the idea of threatening our children with it.
Natasha
And geez– this is 2009. Does this company not make big brains in a nice Thai peanut sauce? Or maybe vanilla lavender would be more flattering to its delicate composition?
Matt
I don’t understand what all the fuss is about..looks pretty damn good to me. People don’t understand that you have to mix it into rice or serve it with some pasta.
I will officially go on record in your comments and say that I will personally Paypal anyone who posts a video of themselves eating an entire can of that stuff $25.00 USD.
Dorothy Stahlnecker
Like we need to know about that stuff makes me want to throw up…omg what is next..
Imagine what we don’t know..

We moved from Canada to Oklahoma way back when and stumbled upon this glorious product while perusing the local Piggly Wiggly. Of course it was promptly placed in our cart, purchased, and sent home to many of our Canadian friends. No one was brave enough to try it…
Our second favourite product was a canned whole chicken. Canned. Whole. Ugh.
derfina
Well, I THOUGHT I was over my stomach virus. Much obliged!

You can get canned pig brains in the grocery stores here in southern USA. And some resturants still serve it….with eggs. It is a breakfast item.
My husband absolutely loves it but I can’t get past the idea.
Anja
Pork brains in what? I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Dani
I’ll eat a little of just about anything, but that, that just crosses a line…at 90 miles an hour with no sign of stopping.
…Maybe low cholesterol brains.
