Lamb fries is the name generally given to lamb animelles (testicles) which have been peeled, rolled in cracker meal, fried, and served as food." Lamb fries are often incorrectly confused with Rocky Mountain oysters. Lamb fries are served in many Italian restaurants, including in Oklahoma's "little Italy" located in Krebs, Oklahoma. Non-Italian restaurants such as Cattlemen's Steakhouse in the Oklahoma City Stockyards also serve them.
Lamb fries, often served in a cream gravy, are a traditional dish in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky.[1]
In Australia, the United Kingdom and other nations once a part of the former British Empire, lamb's fry is a lamb's liver.[2] Normally these are cooked with bacon or onions and a gravy 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, lamb's fries are indeed testicles, not liver.
