I don't know any recipes, but brains are too fatty to make pemmican. (Peter
might know if the raw organ guy has ever dried brains--might be tricky.) I
have eaten raw brains on a few occasions with high pleasure. However, you
should know that that is supposedly where the mad cow disease is hosted:
brain and spinal tissue. Organ meats don't keep very well--cooking might be
the way to go unless and until you have some other experience eating raw
animal foods...
It's a tough issue to talk about because I don't want to lead you to think
that there is no worry whatsoever, but I know from personal experience that
I don't fall over dead from eating raw organs when they taste good au
naturel. YMMV.
Good luck with your organs and let is know how it goes, eh?
Cheers,
Kirt
PS--I'm gonna be lurking only for a while, a couple weeks at least...
