Yummy sweet bread-not the organ meat, baked goods.

[flamin lib]

Sweeter than bread but bread texture and not as sweet as cake. Bread machine versioin:

1 1/8 cups milk
1 large egg
2 tbs butter
4 tbs sugar
1 tbs honey
zest of one orange
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cup bread flour
1 1/2 tsp yeast

Use the white bread setting.

Juice the orange and add a tsp corn starch and some orange marmalade. Bring to a boil to thicken.

Put a scoop of icecream on a thick slice of bread and glaze with the orange sauce.

Some kinda' good!

1. Hey, when I was a teen I LIKED sweetbreads (the organ meat) -

we got treated to them when we visited my uncle in NV. I liked heart and liver, too. But NEVER EVER brains, lol.

2. Grew up on a dirt farm in S Texas and ate my share of organ meats.

The first frost was the time when all the "neighbors" (anyone who lived within five miles) got together and we butchered cattle and hogs. My Aunt Bea took the hog's heads and made tamales and head cheese. Entrails were used for both chitins and sausage casings. Nothing was lost but the squeal.

Everybody who showed up took part in the labor and left with something of value for their contribution.

What a time it was . . .

*Note: Whod'a thought DU spell checker would have chitlins in the library?

5. I've never had homemade head cheese but I imagine it to be superior

7. I still love liver, but don't eat much. Maybe someday if I can raise

my own livestock free of CRAP, lol.

I even ate Rocky Mountain oysters while in vet school and enjoyed them.

3. Bra-a-a-a-a-i-i-i-ns

My mom used to fry them and we'd have them as a spread on old fashioned rye with lotsa salt. Yum!

6. we'd scramble em with eggs for a "dinner breakfast" at dinnertime

they were ok but I liked the tongue sandwiches better :evilgrin:

9. Love beef tongue. Very delicate flavor but a royal pain to prepare.

Reminds me of the All in the Family episode when Meathead offered Archie a tongue apetizer and Archie says, "I don't want nothin' what came out a cow's mouth. Now get in the kitchen and fix me some eggs . . ."

10. a pain?? we boiled it with bay leaves, salt and pepper

:shrug:

11. Pork tongue at our house back then

Good stuff. Beef tongue is available out here but I never see the pork. Certainly no waste as it's all meat. Sandwiches on rye with mustard, yeah.

8. My grandma fixed them with eggs for breakfast. Deer brains, no less.

When we visited during deer season.

4. I love that kind of bread

My grandmas used to make piragas (babka) at the holidays. When I made it in the bread machine I'd add some pumpkin meat for color. But I like the idea of orange. So good!
