Pick your brains out!! :D

I just made some steamed pig brain soup for lunch :D If you could still remember the post back in June 18, I promised my boyfriend I would make him some this trip. :D

It's a long hideous process because you practically have to pick the pig's brain out!! :D

Here are some of the pictures capturing the brain picking process....


First, you must pick the blood vessels and membranes. It's not as difficult as I thought it was to pick them out. Once you find the 'entry' point, you just roll your toothpick and it would detach from the brain tissues quite easily.




Just like bloody qtips :D hehe This is the toothpicks with the membrane attached. :P I know it's kinda gross.. but hey, who said eating brain is not a gross activity anyways?
My grandma used to make these for me to make me smart.. :D Now I can feel the love she had for me. It took me about 30 minutes or so just to pick these out.





The steaming would be very easy. :) Just throw some herbs, gingers and a little bit of wine in the clay pot with the brains, steam for 3 hours or so. Then it's done. :)

I still have to steam this for another 20 minutes or so. :)

So here you are, Tickle's brain soup. :D I hope it's a success. :D
