ox brain is safe?

Is it safe to eat raw beef brain?

[RRM]

Apart from that its not safe regarding mad cow disease, i dont know.

There is not as much protein in it (only 10%, and the protein quality is just 30%), the overall mineral level is just a bit higher (than beef), but its an excellent source of good cholesterol (almost twice as much as egg yolks). Except that brain contains vitamin C (which is already abundantly supplied by fruits), and for folic acid (3 times higher), the overall vitamine level is lower (than beef).

wouldn't you get sick if you ate meat from a cow with mad cow disease?

[RRM]

yes, probably.

After a few years in the philippines i finally found a reliable beef dealer where I can show up at 5am and get grass fed beef that was just killed an hour before. Is it safe to eat the brain?

other organs?

[dandate2]

ah glad i found this, since there isn't much protein in the cow brain does that mean i can eat A LOT ? =)

About twice as much as you can eat fish.

other organs?

The heart is safe to eat, but not the liver.

well i just ate raw cow brain, couldn't take down as much as i expected

could only eat about 7 bites until i felt satiated, roughly 1/5th of it.

the taste was tolerable but i can see why it is the most inexpensive part of the cow (only $1.50 for an entire brain).

tastes like pure fat and cholesterol with an after-taste of liver.

pleasant feeling after-effect though from the fat overload.

still seems less disgusting than eating raw chicken.

i'll prolly only eat brain like once a year

Please try ox heart.

yup heart is next on the list. i did find a recipe for raw brain that seems appealing tho

Freshly squeeze some 6 to 7 calamansi/limes.

Chop up 1 big onion, red or white.

Mix with beef brain.

What the concoction does is to kill the blood flavor of the freshly slaughtered brain.

So you taste all brain. Which is quite good. I still have 1/3 of the beef brain left in the refrigerator. I may finish it off tomorrow.

cow heart was great! they gave me a lot more than i could eat tho so i'll see how vinegar preserves it till tommarow

[RRM]

You can safely store cow heart (in a small container) in the fridge and eat it the next day;
it doesnt go bad that fast.
Chicken hearts taste even better...
