I learned something new today.
(Disclaimer: I blame my ignorance on the fact that I mostly don't eat these things.)
Perhaps this is common knowledge to y'all, but did you know that sweetbread (one word) is some animal part that I probably wouldn't eat, rather than (as I would've expected) a bread that is sweet?!?!?!?
Now why on earth don't they just call these things what they are-- the thymus gland (or animal innards, if you prefer), rather than obfuscate it with some word that sounds like a type of bread???

Heh. I knew that, but then, I'm a Scot, and Scots eat all sorts of disgusting things. I am now a vegetarian Scot, partly in response to the disgusting, disgusting things my kin consider edible.
