I had a fun rolling battle with my non custodial preteen daughter for years. We'd go grocery shopping and I'd toss a can hog brains in milk gravy into the cart. She would freak and remove it every time.

I bought a can on an off weekend and she saw it while foraging for goodies when she was 13.

She "told" me to get rid of it, so I popped it open and put the pink, mealy looking gack into the cat's food dish.

The cat, of course, immediately began noshing on the unlooked for feast.

Jen pleaded with the kitty to stop eating brains, but Midnight would have none of that nonsense.

I had to giggle and say: "Your kitty eats brains...Braaaaiiins Meow."

She looked horrified for a second and then realized I was being silly and that cans of brains were legal and had to laugh.
