Sweetbread Recipes (Animelle)

Sweetbread is the name of a dish made of the edible glands of an animal, especially of the calf and lamb (like thymus gland or throat sweetbread and pancreas or stomach sweetbread). It is not a bread. They are considered delicacies and are rich in mineral elements and vitamins. The pancreas is generally preferred to the thymus. Sweetbreads are highly perishable and, immediately after removal from refrigeration, should be soaked and parboiled, then creamed, curried, braised, or otherwise prepared for serving.
