What is "brain"?

Animal brains are a type of edible meat derived from the brain tissue of various animals, including cows, pigs, sheep, and goats, among others. They are considered a delicacy in some cultures and cuisines, prized for their unique texture and flavor. Brain meat is often cooked by boiling, frying, or sautéing, and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as stews, soups, or as a spread on toast. However, it is important to note that consuming animal brains carries potential health risks, as they may contain high levels of cholesterol and be a source of prions, infectious agents associated with neurological diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
