Sweetbreads with Scrambled Eggs

There's a new breed of Americans stocking up on canned goods and ammunition. It's not the guy hiding out in a backwoods shack. It's your neighbor.
Jim Wiseman is a fire protection contractor who works "with my hands and the sweat of my brow", a 54-year-old father of five. He lives about as far away as you can get from Washington, DC, and Wall Street...La Jolla, California.
La Jolla hardly seems the sort of place where you'd find a man stocking his garage for disaster, but Wiseman's not alone.
More Americans who are concerned about the teetering financial system dependent on government handouts are preparing for a potential doomsday scenario. They've been dubbed "Suburban Survivalists", and they're one reason the stocks of companies like Cabela's and Big Five.
"I got involved in this six months ago when I became concerned about the financial meltdown," says Wiseman, standing in a garage piled high with enough canned goods to feed ten people for a year. He was concerned that the government's response to the banking crisis wasn't to let the free markets work, but to hand out money. "If this was our response from the government to fix the problem, then I can't depend on them to provide for me and my family."
In the last six month he's spent about $20,000 on food, a 250-gallon water storage tank, a water filter, medical supplies, a grain mill (which can be operated by hand if there's no power), a generator for his RV, and guns and ammunition. "I believe I'm pretty well set." Wiseman says he spent $6,900 alone on food, much of it from online companies which specialize in disaster kits. "I wanted to get it done before the rush happened," he says, adding that his timing was good. After he started ordering, the companies which make these kits were overwhelmed with orders, and some goods are now on backlog.
Heck, when I was a kid, I thought they was pretty good eatin'! :)

Sweetbreads with Scrambled Eggs
It looks great! The aroma is even better...a wonderfully meaty, fatty smell. Put that stuff on a pretty plate and garnish with something cute. That’s when the problem starts. It still tastes just awful. Gack!
1st time I’ve seen it.

To bug you.
