brioche Explanation: I would avoid using "sweetbread" if I were you as this is nothing like brioche, but is in fact "the pancreas of the thymus gland of an animal" (New Collins Concise English Dictionary). |

See below Explanation: I live in USA and I think the closest to brioche is Muffin and HOWEVER THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT IN TASTE. The brioche is sweet and the muffin is not. I used to eat brioches when I lived in my home country, but unless specially imported from France (??) they do not exist here and in american english vocabulary. If I were you, I would use the word in FRENCH, jus as it is: BRIOCHE. Regards,:) BD |

brioche Explanation: In our global village where international foods are becoming increasingly common, I would use "brioche" in English. Yes, it is eaten at breakfast. A famous phrase using "brioche" is when Marie-Antionette said "let them eat cake" - in French it was actually "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"! a French friend & just international living |

brioche - a rich eggy bread Explanation: It is used in English and if you want the recipe go to: http://www.breadrecipe.com/AZ/FrenchBrioch.asp I too would not recommend you use "sweetbread" just as I would recommend avoiding Power Translator unless you sufficiently au fait with the language you are translating to spot the terrible mistakes it makes...
