Re: Cooking Adrenal Glands -Thanks

[Guest guest]

Thanks Jackie,

I called my Mom and she could tell me about sweetbreads (thymus gland)

but didn't ever recall using the adrenal glands. (I recall kidney, liver,

heart and ox-tail. . .)

The advantages of having a mom who ate and cooked everything but the

squeal. The adrenals are two small grands that sit on top of the kidneys and

yes

you can eat them. They may have a capsule around them like testicles. This

is best remove by blanching then a cold water bath to facilitate peeling.

From there just bread and fry. Quick cooking will be best. Mom use to like

rocky mountain oysters and I liked pancreatis. The best thing would e to

find a real butcher and ask him. Chances are he has eaten them.
