baitcon | Slightly off topic; Pork Brain Ice Cream (Reply)

I say slightly because Baitcon came to mind, but I was simply wrong, and because this story will probably be appreciated here. The other day I was browsing the online personal ads for my local DC area when one of the interests of a particular lass was "liquid nitrogen ice cream". Being a geek chick she struck me as someone who mighta shoulda been at baitcon but I did not remember seeing her, but then I'm not really that good with faces, so I inquired.

Seems she learned about it from Popular Science and really wants to try it. Naturally this led to mor exchanged mail which I guess was a good thing for me anyway. The best thing to come out of it was this story which I've attained permission to post here to share with the rest of you.

I'll see your chicken liver and raise you pork brain. I shit you not. I was not present, but a group of my friends had an Iron Chef competition at which the ingredient was pork brains, and one of the contestants made ice cream. This was made even more entertaining by the fact that one of them came down with a mysterious (unrelated) illness very soon after, and when his doctor at the hospital asked if he'd eaten anything unusual lately, decided he was delirious when he admitted to the pork brain ice cream.

If anyone is interested I can probably get the recipe for that flavor, but I'm sure I'm too "chicken" to try it. :-)
