Eating brain and Salmon Caviar

Be very careful with eating neural tissue. Mad cow disease emerged from cows eating neural tissue that "spontaneously" become contaminated with prions (type of misfolded proteins). In infected animals, the brain has the highest concentration of prions so be careful. And it has occurred that the disease has spread to humans by eating infected bovine brains; the disease is called Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
