The Raw Brains Taste Test

Watch a BuzzFeed editor eat goat, lamb, pig, chicken, and baby cow brains to determine which is tastiest. Turns out being a zombie wouldn't be so bad. (Warning: This is not a vegetarian-friendly post)

BuzzFeed Food foraged for animal brains by contacting various NYC meat purveyors.

The chicken and goat brains came from Mandani Halal. The pig and lamb brains came from Fleischer's Grassfed and Organic Meats. The calf brains came from Pat LaFrieda.

Then BuzzFeed editor Gavon Laessig ate them. First he started with the chicken brains.

This is a pile of 5 chicken brains.

TASTING NOTES
"Spongey, not very sticky. It just tastes like fat, like chicken fat. It definitely has a chicken flavor to it but it tastes like chicken skin. Really not bad at all."

(BuzzFeed Food editors wouldn't let Gavon consume the chicken brains raw because salmonella is a real thing. So these brains were the only that were cooked.)

Note also that chicken brains are small. Smaller, in fact, than the chicken's eyes.
