Intercerebral brain hemorrhage

No, too much water in the typical mammalian brain for smoking, baking, or frying. Not good for stir-frying either because it’s very soft like tofu and it will fall apart quickly if stir-fried. Grilling on a flat pan is a possibility but definitely not on the grill (will break apart and fall through the grill easily), though it’s hard to cook it evenly that way — it cooks quickly so you risk overcooking the outside before the heat reaches the inside. What you want to do is to quick boil it, think hotpot or shabu-shabu style, serve with your favorite mix of savory dipping sauces. The other good way to prepare it is to cook it in clear herbal broth.

My niece had one of those exactly one week following birthing her first child. Baby was born on a Wednesday. I thought it would be nice to wait a few days to visit as that first week is always busy. My brother was excited to be a grandparent. My niece called her mother to come visit - and asked her to watch the baby while she took a shower. She came out of the shower and said "somethings wrong" and collapsed. Her mother called for an ambulance and then called my brother to come at once. At the hospital, the neurosurgeon said he had to operate to relieve pressure on the brain. "If not, she'll be dead in an hour." Apparently, the brain hemorrhage destroyed the complete left hemisphere of the brain and partial damage to the right. The surgeon said it was one of the worst cases he'd seen.
She lived for another 3 years with my brother spending every moment from sunset to sundown in the hospital and later the long-term care facility. She never spoke or ever indicated any response to stimuli though we thought she did have wakefulness and we even suspect there might have been a bit of awareness.

That’s heart-wrenching kluurs.
My mom had one burst about a decade ago. She was in the minority that came out without substantial permanent physical or mental effects. They found another one a few years later and clipped it as a preventative measure.
She had a tough recovery, but a good recovery. Can’t imagine how tough it would have been with little to no progress for years.

Most of the time on an autopsy, we sliced them like meatloaf.
BTW, Ax, you scramble brains and eggs for breakfast.

Mik will cook it.
(oh, and BTW, I can't use the imojis as the panel is too low on the page, and I can't move it up. Anyone else have this issue?)
Or, Mik will smoke it, fry it, bake it. serve it raw with crackers. . .

Oh, so World Redhead Day is over and it's open season on Mik again, eh?
See how YOU are.

Nah, brains are hard to come by in my neck of the woods, too precious to be mixed up with eggs and lose its authentic taste and texture in a scramble.

Thanks for the video George. I didn't realize the hematoma would be globular and gelatinous; I expected it to be more fluid-like. Interesting.
My father-in-law died of this over 20 years ago. Went to take a nap and never woke up. As far as deaths go, you couldn't get better than that. But it was horrible for the family because he was relatively young and healthy. The autopsy revealed he had a ruptured aneurysm.

When I was around 16, driving home with a friend, a car came around the corner, veered off the road, went end-over-end, and then rolled several times. We were first on the scene. One guy was thrown out of the car, and the car rolled over him. His brain was exposed and partially mushed on the ground. His brother had a broken arm plus other injuries, and kept telling us to do CPR.
Maybe that's why I find the posted video unsettling. Brings back memories. It's creepy stuff for me, but I had to watch it.And Ax, you're a sick puppy for all the recipes. haha pretend imoji pretend imoji.
