Interesting picture in that article. The caption says "Brain
sandwiches, onion rings and German fries." However, it looks more like
the sandwiches, stuff to put in them and three kinds of onions,
including the raw onions (a very generous portion) to put in. The other
onions are fried, and deep fried rings. I don't know what the "German
fries" refers to.

As I remember, Bryan, onions don't agree with you that well.

Could be pork brains. And I don't know how BSE spreads. There was some
mention of no brains from adult cows in the cite, and that calf brains
were used on these sandwiches.

There was certainly a big BSE scare back then. My daughter went to
London for a semester. When she came back, she tried to donate blood,
which she has done for years and years. Once they found out she had
been to the UK, they told her they didn't want her blood, and wouldn't
take it for three years! They weren't interested in any details, just
no. She was a vegetarian, and had eaten no meat the whole time!
