Sweet Bread

Beef sweetbreads are the thymus gland or pancreas of a cow, considered a delicacy in many cuisines. They are soft, tender, and have a mild flavor that takes on the seasonings and cooking method used. Typically, sweetbreads are braised, grilled, or pan-fried, and they are known for their creamy texture and delicate taste. Often served as an appetizer or part of a gourmet meal, beef sweetbreads are popular in French, Italian, and Latin American dishes.
