Sweetbreads are organ meat, including throat, heart, stomach, liver. They are parts from bee, pork, lamb and veal. Recipes for sweetbread first noticed in 16th century. Sweetbreads were popular in the south. My Granny used many of the parts.

An old Kentucky recipe is Stewed Sweetbread with Champignon

one set of sweetbread, a can of champignon, a quarter pound of butter; and very little cayenne pepper. one half teacupful of madeira or sherry; a little flour, burnt brown sugar."

Nanny always made her stuffings and gravys with gizzards and liver. Always. I'd pick then out and shove them to the side. Funny, now I don't mind them so much. Even ate some fried chicken liver not too long ago.
