Visited Walmart yesterday - not my favorite place in the world, but they have a good supply of RV products. Anyway, this one in Yakima is one of their 'super' (?) stores with a grocery included. Walked around checking the meat section and surprised the heck out of myself by finding one little section labeled "Special Meats."
Wow, they had all kinds of hard to find items, what a treasure. I bought two pkgs. of each - beautiful oxtail and sweetbreads!! My only problem is, I've never bought meat from there before, so don't know what I'm in for, but what the heck.
I didn't know these stores had something like this section - those who have been in the stores, is this common, the special meat section? Have I been missing something all these years?
Now, I'm anxious to get home and play with the sweetbreads - I want to do them exactly like we had them at Bouchon's (I love dropping that name into conversations... ) in Las Vegas. Delectable!

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
