Would you like the recipes which need an Igor to get the ingredients? Sour lung soup, brains with eggs, etc.?

I'd give it a whirl. Maybe I was dropped on my head as an infant but that stuff doesn't bother me. Bugs, brains, whatever. Somebody somewhere eats it without keeling over so why not give it a try?

OK Matt, you asked for it. Get the women & children out of the room, here are some real German recipes.

BRAINS WITH EGGS

Take one pound of calf, lamb, pork or beef brains. I don't want to know where you get them - send Igor.

Put them in cold water and wash off all the blood and take off the fine membranes.

Pour a little melted butter and chopped parsley into a bowl with the brains, and moosh everything up with a wooden spoon until it all looks sort of whitish.

Add enough beaten eggs, salt and pepper the concoction and cook. Don't add too many eggs or you'll just get scrambled eggs and scrambled brains.

Resist the temptation to overcook. There's no way you're going to disguise this stuff, and anyone you torture with this it to feel the texture of the meal.

SOUR LUNG SOUP

If you can get brains, you can get lungs. Don't tell Igor about Chinese cooking - you don't want to know the secondary purpose of Chinese zoos either. Beef lungs are better.

Cook the lung (clean it first), together with an onion, a bay leaf and any soup greens you think might help. Cover that sucker strongly and boil it hard until it stops trying to crawl out of the pot, or for 30-45 minutes, whichever takes longer.

Once it has shrunk so much that it feels like liver (ask Igor if you don't know) when you give it a little poke, take the lung out and slice it into noodle-like strips in the hope that your victims will think it's some sort of exotic pasta.

Make some becamel or any old white gravy which comes to mind. Mix it into some of the strained lung broth and pour in enough vinegar. Take a few slugs of vinegar yourself before trying it.

PINEAPPLE SAUERKRAUT

Drain and dry some sauerkraut. If you're so lazy you don't even make your own sauerkraut, you'll just have to cope with the acidity.

Boil the sauerkraut in unsweetened pineapple juice until the kraut absorbs the juice.

Hollow out a pineapple and throw the diced pineapple into the sauerkraut. Cook it a little bit. Drain. Stuff everything back into the pineapple. Serve with something else.
