I have been eating offal, including pancreas, spleen etc., all my life. The terrine did look good, but one of my favourite presentations was a savoury mille-feuilles layered with sweetbreads in a white sauce/bechamel.

Next time, either you need me 'working' back there (breaking everyone's computers in the meantime) or give me a shout and I'll be straight over your side of the square.

Btw.: have you ever tried calf kindey stew, with some harts and tongs mixed in? It is absolutely sensational. The main thing is the kidneys have to be fresh, cut, with the centerpart removed, and repeatedly soaked in fresh water for 1 day to get the piss out. Offal makes great meals - but it is probably the most cholesterol-rich kind of food you can have, after egg yolks.

I'd eat that, it looks scrummy. I'd probably eat more if you didn't tell me it was pancreas first, although I know you and I doubt that would be allowed to happen. *locust flashbacks* What?? Why?
