I ain't got no heart to give away
I note with interest that the most recent edition of The Joy of Cooking does not include any recipes for heart (excluding chicken hearts, but who wants to be as strong and courageous as a chicken?), while the 1986 (or maybe it's 84) edition does. The current edition retains some recipe for brain, though—I would have thought that between the two, brain would be more likely to be omitted, what with all those prions and all.

Beef heart is delicious. I miss Argentinian barbecue.

Prions are not a problem in all animal brains, are they? Squirrels and cows are out of the question, of course, but must we also give up lamb-brain omelettes and dolphin-brain Coke?

Forgive me, Michael, for not immediately having looked up "heart" in the index when I received my copy.

Prions aren't real, but an elaborate British hoax perpetrated so that the Kingdom retains all the succulant cow branes.
But the hog branes, they are ours.

No heart recipe could compare to fried cow brain sandwiches anyhow.
