Cairo - Supply-and-demand on an international
scale appeared at an Egyptian airport when 420 pounds of cow brains
were discovered and confiscated by authorities for the fourth time
in a week.
Raw cow brains are a favored food in
Egypt. Because it's extremely cheap to get in Sudan – one pound
costs less than a dollar and can be sold for as much as six times as
much – Sudanese travelers try to smuggle in the brains and make a
profit. If this batch got through it could've netted the three men
more than $1,500.
The brains were discovered when airport
officials were inspecting the travelers' large freezer boxes.
Although it's not illegal to have the brains, they were take and
destroyed because they weren't sure they were properly preserved.
