About Sweetbreads
Sweetbreads are edible glands, most often the thymus or pancreas of a young animal, commonly a calf or lamb. They are generally pale and delicate, with a soft texture; the plural term does not specify which gland or animal is meant.
They are usually cleaned and may be soaked or blanched before cooking, then fried, braised, or prepared by other methods. Their cooked flavour is mild and their texture tender. The exact organ and source can vary, so the plural name alone is not a precise description of a particular cut.
