Or even humanoid brains?The most sustainable course of action would be to breed Trolls (if they require sapient brains to survive), Hydras*(if they only require sentient brains) or other regenerative monster stock to meet basic food needs, and leave the tasty humanoid brains for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner -- and for when you want to spawn new mind flayers.*When you think about it, one good hydra could feed the entire town...  "Each time a head is severed, two new heads spring from the stump in 1d4 rounds. A hydra can never have more than twice its original number of heads at any one time, and any extra heads it gains beyond its original number wither and die within a day." You suck the brains out of a hydra head, then cut it off, and two more heads grow back within 30 seconds. The extra heads stick around for a day, before they shrivel away.  Just keep keep chopping off the heads you brain suck, and you can feed all 100 Illithid within a matter of minutes off of one creature that will not die as a result of the process.</blockquote>
