Sweet breads vs tiramisu? Is there a competition between fried thymus and pancreas and a cake made out of cookies and marscapone cheese?

BTW my great grandmother would recognize the blood pudding, sweet breads and tripe. She was Irish. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of great gran's who'd recognize the others.

Yes that was rather my point to the glib "don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognise"!

My dear old grandmother never saw Tiramasu, Sushi or a Lobster (at least on a plate) and wouldn't recognise it as food. However some of the stuff she did eat - urgghhhh !
