KENNY'S BRAIN SPREAD
This is a GREAT appetizer for your next Halloween Party! If you don't have a brain mold, you can substitute by lining a med. size round bowl with saran wrap and making your mold. Once the mold is set, you can take the round end of a knife or a pencil eraser and create your crevices and creases to make your brain, as in the picture I have posted. Takes a little more time, but works well. When done designing your brain, peel off the saran wrap, and plate to serve along with your crackers, chips etc.

Steps:

LINDY'S BACON AND ONION CHEESE SPREAD
This is a wonderful bacon and onion cheese spread (not dip) that is great for parties and year-round use. For Christmas, I shape this into a tree shape, on a flat tray. I sprinkle the trunk of the tree with crisp bacon and the tree itself with finely chopped green onion tops or chives. I have also shaped it into a cross for my children's confirmation parties, a Christmas stocking, and even a heart for a special Valentine's Day party. If you substitute creamy salad dressing for the mayonnaise it will not be the same. My mom tried that and it didn't turn out well. This is best made the day before and chilled. My family and friends all love this; it's one of those dishes that I have to make for every holiday and get-together.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, until evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble once cool to the touch.
- Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the Parmesan cheese, most of the crumbled bacon, and most of the green onion into the cream cheese mixture, reserving just enough bacon and green onion for garnish; stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Chill in refrigerator until slightly firm, 1 to 2 hours; shape the mixture into a ball and roll in the reserved bacon and green onions. Return to refrigerator until set, 8 hours or overnight.

Tips for Making Shredded Brain Spread:
- Choose the right brains: Brains from younger animals are more tender and have a milder flavor. Avoid using brains from animals that have been sick or diseased.
- Prepare the brains properly: Soak the brains in cold water for several hours or overnight to remove any blood or impurities. Remove the meninges (the tough outer membrane) from the brains before cooking.
- Cook the brains gently: Overcooking will toughen the brains. Simmer them in water or broth until they are just tender, about 15 minutes.
- Season the brains well: Shredded brain spread is a blank canvas for flavor. Season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Get creative with your toppings: Shredded brain spread can be topped with anything from chopped onions and bacon to crumbled blue cheese and walnuts. Get creative and experiment until you find a combination that you love.
Conclusion:
Shredded brain spread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover brains and it is also a good source of protein and vitamins. If you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give shredded brain spread a try. It is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
