(b) sweetbread (n): "the thymus or pancreas of a young animal (as a calf)
used for food"

(d) Limousin (region)

(e) Notre Dame (Our Lady) is a French title for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
(f) terrine (n; Latin terra earth):
"1b: a usually earthenware dish in which foods are cooked and served
2: a mixture of chopped meat, fish, or vegetables cooked and served in a
terrine"
(g) Growing up in City of Kaohsiung, in a night market I saw a handful of
oval-shaped whitish things as well as sticks displayed on the ice, much like
oysters in US. I asked what they were and was told they were goat testicles
and penises. I have not tried it; never thought about doing so. |
