My comment:
(a) Limoges
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limoges
(the administrative capital of the Limousin région)

In this page, click
Limoges porcelain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limoges_porcelain
(b) sweetbread (n): "the thymus or pancreas of a young animal (as a calf) used for food"

All English definitions are from www.m-w.com.
(c) Both grillon and andouillette are French, not English.
(d) Limousin (region)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousin_(region)
(e) Notre Dame (Our Lady) is a French title for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
(f) terrine (n; Latin terra earth):
"1b: a usually earthenware dish in which foods are cooked and served
2: a mixture of chopped meat, fish, or vegetables cooked and served in a terrine"

(g) Growing up in City of Kaohsiung, in a night market I saw a handful of  oval-shaped whitish things as well as sticks displayed on the ice, much like oysters in US. I asked what they were and was told they were goat testicles and penises. I have not tried it; never thought about doing so.
