In the past, I've found them at Whole Foods. But I've asked a handful of WF's meat departments about availability only to receive the answer of, "Let me transfer you to the bakery." Ummm... Holler back if you know of a place that has them in stock now! I think it's a little too late to special-order them, and, with any luck, my Thanksgiving paté is going into production tomorrow. Grazie! Mon Nov 24 09:25:54 -0800 2008 96856 ecdopfel 1 4199174 The Butcher Shop (South End) has beautiful veal sweetbreads. Even if you don't see them out in the case, ask the butcher -- they usually have them downstairs. I had veal sweetbreads (in a morel mushroom cream sauce) at La Voile this weekend, and they were incredibly tender and delicious, so I've been thinking of cooking them up myself. Good luck!

I've bought them at Sulmona in the NE; but not sure if it's a regular item.

Tue Nov 25 12:59:05 -0800 2008 4197997 243373 ecwashere7 1 4201857 Awesome, thanks! My husband reminded me that we bought them once at the Alewife WF's, in case anyone else is looking. I just spoke with Savenor's and they're selling them for $10/lb. And of course! The Butcher Shop! I'm intrigued by this Market Basket reference... which Market Basket?

Plus, I wouldn't be one to judge the quality. Tue Nov 25 20:00:41 -0800 2008 4201857 243373 ecwashere7
