The Brain

The Brain
 
When I searched Brain in my dictionary it said I could use el cerebro (regular noun) or el seso ( for food). If this is true, can I say, " Me gusta comer el seso humano."? Also, if I were to tell someone that I would like to eat their brain, would I still use el seso? :confused:

El cerebro humano es el alimento de los zombies.

Pepito el Zombie: --Como sesos humanos... [a cerebrum = sesos]

Hannibal Lecter: -- ... con habas de la huerta y un bonito chianti, fssfssfsss!

Mario el Tano : -- Mi piaceno los ravioles de seso! [de seso --> raw material]

Una persona sensata (con seso, del latín sensus) nunca comería los sesos del prójimo.
¿O sí?

Depende. Si es un caníbal que cree que las partes humanas aportan los atributos correspondientes quizás.

What a terrible conversation :D

"seso" is mostly used in the plural when talking about food: "sesos".

To answer your question, the "normal" (not so normal to me) sentence would be "Me gusta comer sesos humanos" (yucky, yucky:eek:)

Some people like to eat "sesos de animales" (more yucky yucky:sad:)

The words "seso" and "sesos" are used in some colloquial expressions:

*Devanarse los sesos = to rack one's brains

*tener poco seso = to be brainless - to have very little sense

*Sorberle el seso a alguien = to dominate someone - to startle someone

*Perder el seso por alguien = to be crazy about someone

;)
