sweetbread
Calf thymus dish
Sweetbread is the thymus gland or pancreas of a calf or lamb, prepared as food.
Despite the name, it contains neither sweets nor bread—the term likely comes from an older sense of "sweet" meaning pleasant or delicate.
Sweetbreads are prized in French cuisine, typically pan-fried or braised: The restaurant's signature dish features crispy sweetbreads with a lemon-caper sauce.
