(urth) Memories stored in the brain

>Entonio: Severian discusses this with Ultan.

I think Entonio is correct. It doesn't have to be the brain.
In his conversation about eating the dead, Ultan likens it 
to a (70'style) hologram plate in which the entire picture 
is stored in each and every piece, no matter how small. So 
you would think any body portion would do.

At Voladulus' feast, isn't Thecla's whole body roasted 
and served? Her head remains intact enough for Severian
to recognize her. Plus, it seems like a pretty big party 
and I get the impression they each got more to eat than a 
1/50 portion of her brain. Didn't they get legs, thighs,
breasts, etc.?
