After an inspiring dinner at Splendido last week where i was served brains, i decided to see if i could get some in from my suppliers. Talks of them being illegal from one supplier made me want them even more. My supplier was on a mission to find them though and one day 10 lbs of brains were at my door. I havn't quite figured out what to do with them, i was thinking a sandwich, because it is quite popular in the south, but im not sure toronto is ready for a brain sandwich. I'm not sure people will even order brains and its not something that can just sit around in the fridge for a few days. I'm thinking of pairing it with truffle, perhaps it will help it sell.
But come to think about it, i didn't think the stuffed snout would sell, and it sold out every night.
So perhaps i am underestimating Toronto and not giving the people of this city the props that they deserve. We shall see....

when I apprenticed at Eigensinn we used brain often in our sauces with whatever we were serving (lamb, pork and even rabbit). occasionally we put in ravioli as well. Though I don't remember ever eating it ceviche style - well done!
