Sweetmeat is not an organ. Where are people getting this? The pancreas people are so mistaken about is called *sweetbread*.
A sweetmeat is nothing but something sweet. A pastry, a piece of candy, candied fruit, cakes, etc.

sweetmeat is basically a sweet dish (ie. desserts) eaten after dinner. however, it does not contain any meat. However, because they are kind of bulky, they fill you up - just like when you have had meat during a meal!
