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.)

Surely someone with as many loyal minions as you can find a lacky to find you pork brains in a can. Call in the calvary!
Kyla
Josh will eat anything, but even he draws the line at brain in milk.
Shelli
I can’t even think of a smart-ass comment. WOW. Ewwwie.
Meli

Pork brains in milk gravy!! EW!!! People actually consumed this?!
Haley-O
…and I’m a VEGAN! Eeeeek! I can’t believe that stuff is FDA approved. BARF! UGH.
Kay
Well if my husband ever pisses me off (he has high blood pressure) I know how to off him without any suspicion. Seriously? 3500 MG Sodium??????
super mama
mmmm spam looks so good compared to that, and I hate spam I would rather starve.(but if it really came down to the two, spam would win ten fold).

For proper meal planning see Hannibal Lector’s preferred side dishes with gently fried brain.
With milk gravy: so gauche.
Zandor
That is probably the worst food ever. Eww.

My favourite part about Spam was that you got to open it with a key. That was always fun.
Pork Brains in milk gravy — ugh just reading the name makes me nauseous.

I like it was made by the Dial Corp. Guess this didn’t sell well enough so now they make soap. I wonder what happened to all those uneaten pork brains…
Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing]
I totally threw up in my mouth.
And canned it.
I bet there’s less cholesterol.

This is a clear cut case against the arguement that gravy makes everything taste better. Also, what the hell kind of cannibal puts pork brains on their grocery list?
Sierra
that is so gross. repulsive. EW. honestly…as weird as this is…i never minded spam. there were worse things to me. like seafood.
Rachael
That. Is. Nasty. Seriously? NOTHING could compel me to eat that.
Rachael
PS Angie’s comment totally just made me spit water on my screen.

If I had the same Mom as Lisa Lawrence up there at 5:08pm, I’d STILL be sitting at the table to this day.
Staring at the 30 yr old pig brains sitting on my plate.
Nancy in Atlanta
Oh. My. God. Pork brains? In a can? You’ve got to be kidding!!! I wouldn’t feed that to my cat!!!
Jen at The Cute Kid
thats just so foul and so very hannibal lecter-esque. i feel like i need to see a photo of the type of person who eats this stuff willingly, they’ve got to be some sort of interesting.
shelly
Thats totally feral…imagine what it looks like when you open the can…*shudder*
