What NOT to eat next time you are in Evansville, Indiana.
Brain sandwich still heads some menus
Concern over mad cow isn't causing a panic among loyal consumers of this ethnic favorite

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Mike Volkman is proud to be a carnivore.

But there are times when a slab of meat won't cut it and the big man's appetite can be satiated only by a brain sandwich.

Not even the threat posed by the first known case of mad cow disease in the United States can keep the 60-year-old insurance agent from a date with fried cow brains on a bun.

"Mad cow has me a little shaky," Volkman said recently while seated at a corner table at the Hilltop Inn, looking at a plate-sized brain sandwich. "But, no guts, no glory."

2. Russian roulette with one bullet and a million chambers.
It's really not a big threat.

3. Pig brains? Don't recall EVER seeing beef brains for sale...
Calf's liver and beef heart is all the cow organ meat I've ever seen. Everything else comes from pigs.
