Balls to you (sweetbreads to me)

[robjh]

On the way back from a cycling tour, I have just popped into Swansea's wonderful food market, where I found a stall selling 'Welsh oysters '

These are the genuine article, two per ram, and he was selling them alongside the 'glands' which are generally sold as sweetbreads elsewhere.

I bought some of the 'glands' and got him to slip one of the big round ones in too.
Hmm, that's tea sorted then

I thought Brits have tea with scones and clotted cream.

You can't live on scones and clotted cream alone..

Errrrrrr, no!

Don't invite me for tea.

When backpacking round South America, I learned that the mollejitas on the menu at a Peruvian parrillada were in fact turkey testicles. They were not good.

I will report back when I know if these are any good.

Like other 'sweetbreads' (ie glands) I've cooked - sliced, dipped in flour then fried. The guy on the stall recommended this.

[QUOTE 4799263, member: 259"]Oh, OK. I usually precook sweetbreads then brown them at the last minute. I wondered if they would be too tough to cook in one go.[/QUOTE]
I've done them both ways - you've just reminded me about parboiling them. I'll mull over the alternatives, I have plenty of time (being on a 3 hour train ride right now)

I had crilladillas when I was in Venezuela. They were a bit chewy, and I don't think the bull was very happy about them either.

I'd suggest the best prep would be to open the window and fling them off the train.

You must have some spunk to eat them.

 

[Salty seadog]

I think I'd struggle there.....

Avoid calf fries in Texas with your steak...spongy is not a good texture for a food stuff
