Thymus gland. How sweet you are.


I (heart) offal. And I especially love sweetbreads. I have daydreams about Nicolas Poelaert's calf sweetbreads (photographed above). As owner/chef of Embrasse Restaurant in Carlton, Nic pan fries those lightly floured babies (perhaps a poor choice of word...) in salted butter and serves with peas and grated fresh horseradish. A Poelaert Family recipe, tweaked by Nic, with a large dose of French whimsy.
