Sneaky Food Names

7 hours ago
1 min read

There are some food names that sound tasty, but they are really tricking you. For instance, “sweet breads” are the thymus or pancreas

of some young animal, usually a calf. “Head cheese” is a jellied and compressed loaf made from the head, feet, and often heart and tongue of a pig. And “Rocky Mountain Oysters” are the testicles of any of

various animals -- sheep, bull calf, mountain goat -- found in the Rockies.
