Brains or fish? Fish or brains?

I am just finishing up one thing I forgot about, which is the arcaheology CD thingy for my arch, class. The section I just finished was on subsistence stuff. Part of it talked about food preservation, and I was given a bunch of different, um, foods, I supose, and told to order them according to which spoiled first. Two of the items on the list were raw fish, and brains!

So, I can't make a real poll, so this will be informal. Please reply below with your thoughts on which spoils first: Fish or Brains. I don't now what kind of brains, but the fish was salmon, and it looked like fillets, if you think that is relevant. Later, I will reveal the exciting answer!

If you like more boring things to play with, you can also try to guess if nuts or wheat spoil faster.

For extra bonus points, describe to me a situation in which it would be important to know which spoils first (brains or fish).

Have fun :)

Look, now pay attention! Fish fillets vs exposed brains! No making up your own conditions ^-^
