If prepared well, they are delicious--rich, slightly creamy texture, crisp on the outside. The flavor will not shock you, it's very mild compared to liver or kidneys.

re: whs
Thanks all. I went for the sweet breads & very glad I did. they were perkectly crisp. I think the were breaded in a fine flour as the crispy nice stood right through the sauce.....fried in bacon fat and oil as the bacon taste was not over whelming. Service with a light citrus, caper and cream sauce. My sister & tried to explain the flavor and the best we could come up with was a liver type texture (not as grainy) with a chicken flavor. We finished them all and mopped up the sauce with their house bread. Three cheers to the Grill Room Portland Maine!

Hi,
Sweetbreads are the thymus gland of young steers of pigs the best are from Veal there actually tonsils one is in the throat the other is connected in the breast the larger one in the breast area are the best these are really Pancreas glands. They are high in fat but if peoperly prepared are very good .the best way to have them are lightly flattened and sauteed crisp.
