Texas Calf Fries- Aka- Mountain Oysters

Ingredients needed-
2 pounds bull testicles
Beer
Salt
Pepper
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal
1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
1 Tablespoon Chili powder
2 Tablespoons Beef bouillon
Vinegar
Cooking oil

With a sharp knife remove all the skin that surrounds each Ball. Soak the Balls in salt water for at least one hour. Drain. Put the Balls in a large pot of water and add about 1/4 cup vinager. Boil for about 5 minutes. Drain and let them cool. Slice the Balls to about 1/4 inch ovals. Put them all in a large bowl and cover with beer. Marinate for up to two hours, or not. Put the eggs in a bowl and whip with a fork. Mix flour, corn meal, garlic, chili powder, pepper,and bouillon in a bowl. Dip each oval into the eggs, then into the flour mixture, back into the eggs, again into the flour mixture- then drop into the HOT oil and deep fry to a light golden brown- do not over cook! Dip the ovals out and drain on paper towels.

I'm glad YOU'RE the one who asked it! LOL I think they may be, but as I said earlier, I have never seen them on any table where I've eaten.

And I would echo your YUCK!
