neutral emiledgar : sweetbreads are always from calves and usually, in English, they are just called sweetbreads. The sweetbread is the Thymus gland and it shrinks during adolescence.

agree Sheila Wilson : These are definitely calves sweetbreads - lambs' are eaten quite regularly

agree Melissa McMahon : agree that "calves" not necessary... I assume this could be the shortcrust version of the savoury "mille-feuilles de..." about the place

agree chaplin : just sweetbreads

neutral Michael GREEN : Your link has nothing to do with sweetbreads, and these are veal sweetbreads ("calves" is politically incorrect in EN).What we need is a picture ....

sand plasted -veal sweetbreads

disagree Sheila Wilson : Where on earth does it say that in your reference? Have you tried translating that into Turkish?

disagree Cetacea : "sand-plasted"? Seriously?

disagree Michael GREEN : For heaven's sake - this is meaningless. "Sand-plasted" (or "sand-blasted") is never a cooking term!

disagree Tony M : Nonsensical in EN, and improbable in the culinary field!

crusted veal sweetbreads

it's the name of the recipe in English
Peer comment(s):
agree Yvonne Gallagher : yes, "veal" (not calf)
4 hrs
neutral Michael GREEN : The term is correct - and the dish is delicious! - but sweetbreads can be "crusted" with a variety of things (pistachios, herbes, etc) so I think you need to decide how to translate "sablé" (which no contributor has succeeded in doing so far)
