About

This sauce comes probably from the same origin as the one  that we call tartar sauce in French cuisine. However, it brings a different flavor and it goes particularly well with the taste of brains.

How long do you poach the brain for this dish and do you use spices or salt when poaching it? I haven't tried eating one before.
