Thread: Heartfelt thoughts over a beer

Many years ago (early 70's) I worked in the freezing works and we regularly boiled the lamb hearts in our knife sterilizers to eat at lunchtime. This was an accepted practice, and although probably banned in todays PC world they were delicious. Another treat that you hardly ever see today is the sweatbread (thymus gland).This is a fatty gland found near the heart. It reduces in size with age but if you're lucky enough to shoot a young animal with one cut it out, slice it into strips and fry it dipped in flour. It's bloody amazing.
