Yes, some still use that term today... my butcher calls them "melts".
However, the same term is applied to the soft roe, i.e. the testes, of
male fish (the hard roe being the ripe ovaries of female fish).

Whaddaya say to the prospect of the term referring (only as a
possibility, mind you) to, um, _forest_ oysters (in the case of pigs)?

Spleens, BTW, are a fairly good substitute for lungs in those benighted
locales where lungs are considered unfit for sale for human consumption,
for those trying to make semi-decent haggis, sans a proper paunch and pluck.
