Used to be a fairly common item on the breakfast menu. Calves brains & scrambled eggs (all mixed together). At least it was common in the midwestern USA. I can remember seeing it on restaurant & truckstop "greasy spoon" menus. Seems like it was on its' way out even before BSE/CWD became an issue; now I think it's banned in some states.

Because of the mad cow scare, its hard to find cows brains. Pork and lamb's brains picked up some of that slack, but brain consumption is on a steep decline. Drainbramage brought up that the texture is offputting, but when floured and lightly fried, my first thoughts were "hmm... like fried oysters!"
