Ahhh-what do you mean by sweetbreads? Do you mean stones (testicles) or throat breads?. Lamb stones are best early in the season when the lambs are 3 to 4 months old and before they are sexually active.
The throat breads come off the pluck and are the thyroid gland and are delicious- niether of these things are restricted for sale-you just need to ask the right people. As far as I am aware, nothing was banned from sale post fmd. Certain beef cuts are now classified as Specified Risk Material due to BSE, and are more dangerous than fallout to handle (according to the powers that be)
