What Are Lamb Fries?
Lamb fries, also known as lamb testicles or lamb testes, are a type of offal or organ meat that comes from male lambs. They are considered a delicacy in various cuisines around the world, including Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and American cuisine. Lamb fries are often breaded and fried, grilled, or sautéed, and they are known for their tender texture and rich, slightly gamey flavor.
Lamb fries are often served as an appetizer or main course in upscale restaurants, and they are also popular at butcher shops and specialty markets. They are typically prepared and cooked with a variety of herbs and spices to enhance their natural flavor and to complement the overall dish. Despite their unconventional nature, lamb fries enjoy a dedicated following among adventurous eaters and culinary enthusiasts who value nose-to-tail eating and the exploration of unique and traditional foods.

You don’t want to know.
They are Lamb testicles. The best ones are from young lambs.
In Australia, ‘lamb’s fry’ is just sheep’s liver. I think it’s the same in Ireland.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS ARE BULL TESTICLES. NOT SHEEP.
LOL!
Yeah, I'll bet.
When we went to visit our kin in Arkansas from Cali, when I was a kid. There was one of my uncles there who had a big gallon jar of RMO's in the frig... He loved em', ate them right out of the jar. To my understanding they were goat balls, not lamb.
The whole time some little kids that lived nearby would be squatted beside the cattle chute with a shoe box where they deposited all the fresh "mountain oysters" to take home for frying.
I would never eat such a dish! Disgusting!
Now bull testicles... That's a different matter! But lamb? Never!

Rocky mountain oysters is what happens to bovines, i imagine it would work with sheep
Mountain oysters. Fried in butter, salt and garlic
Sadly first thing that came to my mind as well
Oh, I’ll try just about anything once, if it’s clean and cooked well. I’ve had kidneys, heart, brains, tripe, sweet breads, tongue (my favorite), and I would try mountain oysters or lamb fries, although I might feel sorry for the creature that lost it’s jewels.
A man and wife came out and castrated two hogs I had. They kept the testicles for cooking.
My dad bought some meat in 1960. Mom cooked it up but dad never said what it was. I remember it had a spiked ball of gristle in the middle.
Well, on our tenth wedding anniversary, my wife and I went to Greektown *The Parthenon, 314 Halsted) and ordered (ahead of time) a lamb’s head. The brains weren’t bad. I ate the eyeballs, my wife couldn’t take it that far.

You surely do know how to show a girl a good time.
A mite chewy and masculine
