BRAINS

The world eating competition for cow brains is held by Takeru Kobayashi, 17.7 pounds in 15 minutes.

Heliogabalus was a Roman emperor (204-222 AD) who was known for his culinary excesses.  For one banquet he had 600 ostrich brains prepared.

A story is told that the cook to Wilhelm the king of Prussia served donkey's brains à la diplomate to Napoleon III after his defeat and capture at Sedan.

There is a recipe in the earliest surviving cookbook by the Roman Apicius for brains with rose petals.
