Ok, thanks I will try mataura.According to butchers in Dunedin, freezing works are no longer extracting the brains.Apparently the bottom fell out of the overseas market when the mad cow disease took off.Strangethe links in peoples minds

Brains are delicious cooked the middle eastern way, braised in a small amount of oil,lemon juice with some turmeric, onions.Ther are lots of other delicous recipes.It is the soft texture thatmakes them quite unlike other offal.I love sweetbreads too but brains..oh la la!
