Lamb fries

Lamb fries

Lamb fries is the name generally given to lamb animelles (testicles) that have been peeled, rolled in cracker meal, fried, and served as food. They are otherwise known as lamb "balls." Lamb fries are often incorrectly confused for Rocky Mountain oysters. Lamb fries are served in many Italian restaurants, particularly in Oklahoma's "little Italy" located in Krebs, Oklahoma and Cattlemen's Steakhouse in the Oklahoma City Stockyards.

In Australia, the United Kingdom and other nations once a part of the former British Empire, lambs fries are lamb livers. Normally these are cooked with onions and a gravy is made with the juices. They were once very popular in pubs as low cost meals ("counter lunches"). This meal is making a comeback in the form of a "slow food"-type dish.In Lancashire, lambs fries are indeed testicles not liver.
