Sweetbreads come from which animal source?
  1. Veal
  2. Pork
  3. Beef
  4. Venison
Explanation
Answer: A - Sweetbreads are the thymus glands of veal. While they do also come from lamb, it is veal that is more common and the preferred animal source. As the animal ages, the thymus gland shrinks which is why sweetbreads can only be harvested from the young.
