I’m from Wisconsin and I was down in Lerado Texas for a few week’s. And I went to a friends house for a cook out.. I tried them for the first time.. Cooked over Mesquit wood, and had them on a Tortilla.. The best thing I’ve ever had.. Now back in Wisconsin.. Almost no Butcher has ever heard of the sweet breads, and none of them carry them, or know how to get them…. I’m hooked..

May I suggest that anyone living where cattle are raised and butchered can find sweetbreads by contacting those that do the butchering. I get these parts for free as they are often discarded – livers, hearts, kidneys, cheeks, sweetbreads, tails, and bones. Mighty fine eatin’.

Just ask your butcher to order them they are not hard to find anywhere I bet they have them on hand in the freezer. I got a good laugh when my cooks all of latin backrounds shunned them then walked in the next week with them in Tacos they had no clue they were the same thing just chopped up.

Those of you that can get them are lucky. Can’t find them here in Northern Colorado. Those that haven’t tried them are missing out, those that won’t are missing out on a lot of things. Love them grilled. Have had the brand shown in the picture and the package had both types of sweetbreads in it.

Just so I’m not confusing anyone, I am referring to the thymus gland in the neck as far as the recipe and preparation. I’ve not ever heard of using the others in the recipes mentioned. The photos above are of the thymus glands.
