Time, Love, Memory

What I found most interesting in this book so far was when Benzer ate the brains of sheeps, cows, goats, pigs, and chickens. It was mentioned, "One by one [Dotty] brought them home, and one by one [Benzer] dissected them, usually in the middleo f the night. Afterward, he ate them" (70). I find this extremely distasteful. It oculd be because I was never exposed to the eating of animal brains while I was growing up and maybe Benzer was. Even if he was curios about hwo it would taste, I don't think I would have tried it. I guess he couldnt let the brains which he bought go to waste so he ended up eating them. I wondered if he shared them with Dotty and how she reacted to him doing this.
