The Right Way to Eat Glands

[Beyonder]

So, I have eaten certain glands at this point: pancreas, thymus, testicular glands.  All great, but I haven't worried much about overeating them.

Now, I may have an opportunity in the future to get ahold of other glands: adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, hypothalamus, etc. I have been studying what they look like so I can guide my butcher since he may not know.

I want to make sure that I consume them properly. I know these glands were often divided up between an entire tribe meaning everyone ate a tiny fraction of these nutritional powerhouses.

Does anyone have insight into the proper combinations and amounts of the various glands I should be consuming?

Thanks!

    I've eaten pancreas, thymus, testicle, adrenal, thyroid and a few others.  I would recommend not to eat the whole adrenal at one sitting.  Sometimes I could, and sometimes it threw me into crazily intense albeit short detox.  I think the purines of testicle and thymus made me swell a little.  Fermenting them probably helps.  Everything else I tried was just fine.  I would love to try pituitary and/or hypothalamus, lucky you!  Tell me how they are.

Hey thanks for the input! I will definitely be careful with the adrenal. That is great advice.

If I get around to those other glands I will definitely report back. In the meantime, I'll have to stick to the typical sweetbreads!

RawZi, would you recommend only eating adrenal when eaten with thyroid?

.. would you recommend only eating adrenal when eaten with thyroid?

    I would think so and heard that before, but I'm not sure.  I've never had them both together in any form (that I recall).
