QUICK BITE: Go outside your comfort zone!! Veal Sweetbreads!!

If you have been following along, I like to try interesting dishes. So when the MB restaurant at Live Aqua had Veal Sweetbreads I just had to order them!!  


The people would want to know.  What are Sweetbreads?   They are organ meat, more specifically the pancreas. I have seen them on menus before.  Typically they are either pan fried or deep fried as they were here.  




If I gave you some to try, you would think these were just morsels of pork in a light batter.   Maybe that is what pancreas is supposed to taste like?  They were served with a light potato foam which added some needed creaminess. And for texture they were topped with shavings of deep fried sweet potato which added a salty crackle to each bite.   It was a really thoughtfully planned dish.  I know they are not for everyone.  And just the knowledge of what they are turns many people away.  However I suggest going out of your comfort zone occasionally. Especially on a cruise or an all inclusive resort where the worst that can happen is that you don't like a dish and order something else.
