Prize: $50 Gift Certificate for Lunch at Kris Bistro.
First correct caller wins!

QUESTION

 The name of this delicacy is misleading.
It is the thymus glands of veal, young beef, lamb and pork. Preparation methods include poaching, sautéing and braising.
What is it?

ANSWER: SWEETBREADS

(Definition source: epicurious.com)

Kris Bistro is a modern French restaurant supporting and showcasing local Houston growers, local artists, French wines and aspiring chefs. Kris Bistro is a collective effort between Mr. Alain LeNôtre and Chef Kristofer Jakob. Their vision was to create an in-house restaurant training center at Houston's Culinary Institute LeNotre where the students could work in a real-time restaurant under the supervision of their instructors. Kris Jakob, for whom the restaurant is named, is the head chef instructor at the Culinary Institute and oversees all operations of the restaurant. He is committed to showcasing local farmers and ranchers products on his menus. The LeNôtre name is synonymous with high quality pastry worldwide. So it is no surprise that exceptional desserts and breads are on the menu at Kris Bistro. The Bistro serves lunch Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to 3 pm. And dinner Tuesdays through Saturdays starting at 5:30 pm. They are located at 7070 Allensby (just outside of downtown Houston at the Crosstimbers exit off 45 North). Reservations are accepted.
