Brain Masala
Fried brain masala with naan bread was today’s lunch. Hmm good. It had the consistency of tofu (the brains, that is), but the masala spices overpowered any flavor the brain itself had. It was a challenge getting my mind to eat brain. I can now check this off the list of things to do before I die. It wasn’t really on the list actually….
Today we got blocked from entering two campuses, so we didn’t get to talk to any students there. And on a third campus where we were welcomed by the administration, we were not able to talk to any students. So we didn’t connect with any students today, but we learned a lot about the difficulties of connecting with them in general. I think it illustrates the need to find other ways, like the Internet, to connect with students other than visiting a campus.

You are a brave guy, Jerry. I’m all for “when in Rome” and all but there are limits.

Jerry,
Adam just raised a good point – whose brain was it??!!

Good question!
I think it was lamb brain. It would not have been cow brain, as that would be very offensive in India. I might have been pig brain, but we were at a Muslim owned restaurant, so that is unlikely as well since Muslims don’t eat pork. Chicken brains are too small to make a meal of, so I think the best guess is lamb brain.
Hungry?
