Drop the boiled sweatbreads into cold water when cool, and put on ice. When ready to use, cut them into thin and small pieces.
Make a sauce for the sweetbreads this way
Put the butter into the cast iron saucepan and mix well the melted warm butter with flour, then gradually add into the skillet the warm milk, or cream, while stirring vigorously to keep sauce smooth and without lumps. Boil the sauce for a few minutes, add a pinch of salt and pour it on the sweetbreads.
Let them simmer for ten minutes, then add into this sauce the asparagus tips. If you use fresh tips of asparagus, please, boil them in salted water until tender, before you add them into the sauce.
