<giggles> Good hunting!!! :-) -- Om.
Do you know how hard it is to find an abbatoir?? Sheesh!
Yellow pages? :-) -- Om.
Duh, of course! On the web. As well as Canadian business directory.

I would not eat brains on a bet. ;-) A great way to get a pryon disease...
So solly. <lol> Thanks for the _polite_ spelling flame! ;-)
No problem 🙂 Normally I don't correct spelling errors since I make spelling mistakes all the time. It doesn't bother me but someone might want to google for more info so I corrected it for them to make it easier.

I've been following this thread with interest as I didn't even know what sweetbreads were until I googled. While they sound interesting, I think we'll pass. AFAIK we have never eaten brain or at least I know I haven't but like you my concern would be prion diseases.
They are Thymus, and you don't know what you are missing... but that's more for me! :-D
Well then I guess we are going to have to try some. I'll check with the butchershop the next time I'm there.

She's not a snob - she's just superior to *everyone* else 😉

They are better than brains! :-) Just be OH so careful not to over-cook them! Overcooked, they get a grainy texture that just ruins them.

No; I find that they are firm enough right out of the package. Of course, having a very sharp knife helps here.
I had to get used to the texture of unpressed sweetbreads. I started eating them in expensive/fancy French restaurants, but now I order them in el cheapo Italian joints. Part of the price difference is not pressing them.
My stupidmarket said to check the abbatoires. eewww. But I will.
How did you know that word??? PS: it''s spelled "abattoirs".
sf who had to look up the definition... and found the spelling "mistake" as a result
I knew what it meant due to lOTS of reading. <lol> Anne McCaffery used it in some of her Science fiction novels. I was originally introduced to the word by a woman in Canada that was selling me Rhea feathers.
Cheers! -- Om.
