32kg omg lol.They must be freezable! My Dad used to just do them whole in a standard batter and deep fry.We'd them dip them in salt (surely sprinkling would have been enough he he) and have them with bread and butter. Gosh that brings back memories!

OMG lol, 32 kg, they freeze well, rinse under cold water put in saucepan and cover with cold water simmer 15 mins. Cool, then flour,dip in egg, and breadcrumbs fry in butter to colour crumbs and crisp up.
Sweetbreads in a sauce.Clean under cold water, Simmer sweetbreads 15 mins drain and cool.
Fry off a onion, and garlic, in little butter, make a white sauce add cooked sweetbreads, onion garlic, salt/pepper, some chopped parsley, heat through till nice and hot serve over mashed potatoes or on toast.

yum, thanks fifie. We are going to a house warming at end of month and with so many said we would try making some fritter to take. Am having a bit of trouble finding a recipe tho lol, may just have to take crumbed, battered & deep fried ones
We are very fortunate that I work for a company you can sometimes get staff sales from. First time I have seen them offer us sweetbreads in the 10 years I have worked for them. They were only $1 kilo.

Lucky, lucky you.I remember many years ago going to the freezing works in Fielding and they had them in buckets and you got as much as you like,cheaply.We buy them when we go to Taupo as they are about $4 a packet cheaper there than buying them in Auckland.
