Cheers
I had veal sweetbreads last week for the first time. They were quite tasty.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

HOLY CARP!!!
Sweetbreads sounds gross. As to veal - I never eat it.

Maybe I'll try them some day....just not veal.
And how are you today?

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
Cool -- I understand they really are sweet when properly prepared. You are such the gourmand.

Sweetbreads are okay. But they need a strong sauce like bordelaise, otherwise they're quite bland. What I don't like are the tiny little fibrous threads between the clumps of glandular tissue.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

You have to clean them properly. But done right, they are great. I always did a tarragon cream sauce.

We had to eat those as children. Creamed sweetbreads - and the sauce was laced with sherry. Not exactly kid-friendly.

Whenever they were set down in front of me at dinner I would burst into tears.
