Scrambled Eggs and Brains
Growing up, my mom made this, just using calf brains. Thanks to mad cow disease, beef products such as this, are no longer available in the USA. But pork brains are. So I made this using pork brains. They have a slightly stronger flavor, but not too bad. You can scale this up by doubling or whatever for the amount of servings you require. This is a largish single serving, so if you have others things to go along with this, this could be 2 servings.

8 oz (half a pound) pork brains (I used frozen, thawed them first)
