Serves 2 - Eli and Irit

Riddle: What do Eli and Irit have in common?? Answer: Curried Brains of coarse...

Ema, when we were kids, used to make us fried brain ktzitzot - this was before cholesterol and BSE were invented. Today she makes this small dish of curried brains - she doesn't serve it with the rest of the food, but secretly spoons it out to Eli, Irit and other special clients.
