My Irish Grandfather was born & raised in farming country 100 miles south of St. Louis. He ate scrambled eggs & brains, but I don't recall sandwiches ~ guess that would work between bread. I turned purple @ idea & did same when I read your question. I imagine he liked it or he wouldn't have eaten it more than once. Canned pork brains are available in some grocery stores. (not in my cart!)
An uncle transplanted to Ohio & told about a German friend making blood sausage. I didn't ask any questions. Anyone with info about that dietary delight?
Blood sausage is pretty common, also blood pudding I think. Im guessing the black sausage I had for breakfast in Dublin once was one in the same. Blood sausage is okay although not a favorite, just no brains thanks.
