Sheep brain is grilled or fried, then tucked into bread with garlic sauce, tomatoes, and pickles, sold from stalls in Sidon's old souk right alongside more familiar sandwiches. It's an offal specialty longtime locals seek out when they're in the old city.
Why it's made this way: It reflects the nose-to-tail cooking common in Sidon's traditional souk stalls, where organ meats are treated as an everyday sandwich filling rather than a rare specialty.
