You want sweetbreads? then use Pellegrino Artusi´s recipe from Science in
the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well:

"350 grams of macaroni, 170 grams of Parmesan cheese, 150 grams of
sweetbreads, 60 grams of butter, 70 grams of truffles, 30 grams of fat and
lean ham. A handful of dried mushrooms. The giblets of 3 or 4 chickens and
their gizzards, which you can also use if you cut away the gristle. If you
can add cockscombs, cock´s testicles and unborn eggs, so much the better.
Nutmeg for flavouring. Don´t be put off by all this rich condiment, as it
will all disappear under the layer of pastry."

There is two-part article about the history of
timballo/timpano/pasticcio/parmesan pie in PPC #59 and 61, tracing the
origins back to Babylon.
