Ah. "Sweetbreads". Mollejas. One of my favorites, 
at least cooked the way you probably had them. In 
fact, most ways ;-). Many cultures use the same 
name when speaking of the pancreas as a food, 
also. English-speaking butchers and cooks (those 
few, it seems, who discuss sweetbreads at all 
these days) distinguish between "throat 
sweetbreads" (thymus) and "heart sweetbreads" 
(pancreas).

Nothing to make unhappy emoticons about ;-). I 
think most people are sometimes a little 
embarrassed with language difficulties, and it 
can be a temptation to ignore little errors like 
that one. But I feel that since you are obviously 
working hard (English is a hard language to 
become fluent in), you deserve our full attention 
and any help we can give, if that's all right 
with you. So, I'll cheerfully nag you, as long as 
you want to tolerate it.

I have an interesting neighbor who is of mixed 
Norwegian and Spanish ancestry; she reminds me of 
you sometimes...
