MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Sweetbread is cow brains. In olden times, they were seldom consumed, because the high nitrogen content of them was put to the better use of tanning hides. 111723[/snapback] Sweetbreads are typically the thymus, but can be extended to describe any "edible" gland from an animal. I don't think the brain is classified as a "gland" although there are some parts that are (pituitary and pineal), and I've never heard of brains being called "sweetbreads." But hey, it's all disgusting to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thymus might be best considered as an "appetizer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Southern Man-iac Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Surprised nobody picked up on this quote from the article. I thought it was interesting that in keeping with the theme and spirit of the event, chef Dejan Milovanovic "beat off other challengers"!!!! Perhaps he wanted to garnish the dish with a creamy Au Jus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Isn't "sweetbreads" the same thing? From cattle right? When I was growing up in a remote part of Australia, my mum cooked and served almost every part of the animal. 111699[/snapback] Did she make Kinkajou Stew too?

Rico Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 The first time I ever visited Nashville, I almost ordered some rooster fries at the Stockyard, until others at the table started giggling. Close call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Next will be the Testicle Eat contests at state fairs. Who do you think will win, the skinny Japanese guy or a porno queen? The Japanses guy can down a lot of weiners in a short time but the contest will come down to who handle the balls better? Food for thought but not for consumption.
