What Are Sweetbreads? ccording to the Larousse Gastronomique, sweetbread is the culinary term for the thymus gland (in the throat) and the pancreas (near the stomach) in calves, lambs and pigs. Larousse further states that thymus sweetbreads are elongated and irregular in shape while pancreas sweetbreads are larger and rounded. But sweetbreads are neither sweet, nor are they bread. The word sweetbread was first used in the 16th century, but the reason behind the name is unknown.
Beebread is a mixture of pollen, honey and enzymes, stored by the bees in the combs. They add wax and seal the comb cells. This mixture undergoes a lactic acid fermentation which is very similar to that in yogurt and other fermented milk products, and after almost 3 months becomes what we call beebread.
