Sweetbread
Sweetbread is a culinary name for a young animal’s thymus or pancreas, typically cleaned and blanched before frying, braising, or other cooking.
About Sweetbread
Sweetbread is a culinary name for an edible gland, most often the thymus or pancreas of a young animal, commonly from a calf or lamb. It is a pale, delicate organ with a soft texture; the specific organ and animal are not fixed by the name alone.
It is generally prepared by cleaning and often soaking or blanching before being cooked, for example by frying or braising. Cooked sweetbread is tender and mild in flavour. Because the term covers different organs and sources, a product labeled only “sweetbread” may not identify exactly which one it contains.
