It Tastes Like Chicken!

Okay, okay, I admit it. I tried the sweetbreads.

They were lightly breaded and pan-fried in clarified butter. Then we made a pan sauce with the drippings, butter, capers, lemon, and some demi glace.

I gotta tell ya - it tasted just like popcorn chicken.

If Chef had made them and served them without telling us, I would've never known the difference!

The lesson: sometimes you must prepare things you don't like and do it well.

OK - lesson learned.

Afterward, we made Veal Cordon Bleu, and Veal Marsala. Yum! The Marsala is one of my personal favs anyway.

Next we start lamb. I told Chef he's going to have to make me like it. I have tried, in vain, to acquire a taste for lamb, but have failed to do so. We we'll see.....
