Pork brains in milk gravy (canned).
I thank Yves Smith for the pointer. Yves also points us to a rare cheetah captured on camera.

Can you get pork brains in water? For those watching the fat in their diet.

That first link is emblematic of the new antisemitism sweeping the globe. I am beyond offended.

Glad to hear that you're having fun in KC. I assume that you still want to relevant, however. Please comment on BHO's budget for this FY and FY2010 and the projections for the following three years. I hope you comment on both the macro (deficit and its financing) and micro (composition of income and expenditure) consequences of the new fiscal policy.

I would like to have a taste of that.

This is actually pretty common on shelves in VA and NC.. Tyler, you should look for it next time you're at Wegmans.
Just think, eat a can of this and you've got all the cholesterol you need for at least the next 11 days

I thought this was a hoax at first. I did a search of the Armour Food Products website and the product does not appear there. And I cannot find any companies which produce this. But lots of commentors (like Zac- see above) who say they've seen it. Who makes this stuff? And how are you supposed to prepare it?
On the other hand, I have seen pig's blood in my favorite Asian food store here in Chinatown-Los Angeles.

No wonder it's endangered - it's plainly an albino!
Lars: I've seen it reported as a product no longer made (by Armour, that is). I'd be shocked if it was a hoax, since brains and gravy are both established Southern traditional foods.'
Me, I don't see how it's really any nastier than stuff I gladly eat with noodles and broth (such as beef tendon and tripe).

Yuck. Please don't think southerners are responsible for all the brain eating, though head cheese is still sold in some supermarkets hereabouts.
Gravy, now yes, we southerners would like to take credit for that. But really, it's a different part of the pig that makes the best gravy.
My favorite comment on this is (from an Althouse commenter, I think) about how this must be Congress' favorite food.

Ah, that brings back memories.
We used to take gorp on caving trips. peanuts, cashews, chocolate bits, M&Ms, etc. In theory we carried it for an emergency. In practice we ate it up. And I thought, what would happen if we did have an emergency, but our emergency rations were already eaten?
So I found a can of pork brains in gravy, and I carried that every trip. So when people got out their gorp I would get out the pork brains. Everybody would go "Ewww!". I'd explain they were emergency rations. "It would have to be an emergency before I eat that!" "Yes, we'll know it's a real emergency when we open the can." Then I'd get out my gorp so people wouldn't feel like I was sponging on them.
After a year or so the can was so dented up I threw it away and bought a new can. And after another year or so I stopped carrying it. A few years later I found it in a box of old caving gear and threw it away. Good thing they used aluminum cans or it would have rusted.
