OK, but then (and apologies for this in advance, but I need to make my point), suppose that eyeballs were a common delicacy in some part of the world, and I'd said eyeballs instead of brains in my example. That wouldn't be any more disgusting, in principle, but I'm guessing it would squick you if someone said they'd eaten eyeballs. Even without a detailed description.
