A Feast for Zombies: Gory Gourmet Food Truck Serves Fresh Brain Burgers

G'day to you! Thanks for clicking by today! You're just in time for a mug of coffee and a brain muffin...sorry, I meant bran muffin full of fruit that's good for your brain. Brainfood is one thing but...

London Chef Mark Jankel shocked everyone when he launched the Gory Gourmet, a special food truck that serves very literal brain food, including calf brain burgers, brain salad wrap or crispy chunks of brain.

Animal brain is a pretty common ingredient in the cuisine of many Asian countries, but in the Western world it has become somewhat of an oddity, with many referring to it as zombie food. Mark Jankel of Street Kitchen decided to use this fact as an opportunity to shock Londoners and create a very original publicity stunt.

On August 22nd he launched his Gory Gourmet food truck, which treats Londoners to dishes made from calf brain, pig feet or cow thyroid. Although created to celebrate the DVD and BluRay release of zombie thriller series The Walking Dead Season 2, the Gory Gourmet was actually a culinary success, with dozens of curious clients lining up to taste the bizarre treats. I think it’s fair to say this particular food truck caters to the the taste of customers both alive and undead.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with the run of the mill everyday tasty stuff. Y'know...yesterday we were in a shopping mall and I said to Nong, "I have a craving for a hamburger". She went to the food court while I browsed around Burger King and McD...even KFC for their Zinger (spicy chicken) burger. Finally decided to forget about the grease and have a chicken caeser wrap and a cappuccino. It was good - brain food without the brains running out the bun, eh!

See ya.
