They're really no worse than sweetbreads (or actual oysters, for that

them. *grins*
Delicacy==really disgusting animal bits that nobody would touch if
they weren't called a delicacy

Well, for those interested in trying out, or at least reading about,
the medieval versions of these delicacies, see this file in the FOOD-
MEATS section of the Florilegium:
organ-meats-msg (114K) 11/14/08 Period cooking of organ meats.
I remember some of us sampling sheep "mountain oysters" when Phlip
had her sheep butchering class near Pennsic several years ago.
For those of you who prefer the oysters from the sea, well you'll
have to look in this different Florilegium file:
seafood-msg (102K) 2/19/09 Medieval non-fish seafood. Recipes.
