Let me ask the obvious....what in the world are calf fries!!!???

Um. Don't ask. Yes, It's that bad.

bull test tickles

Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmm good

Goood Eatin right thare........

Best place to get them is Peach Orchard in Terral, OK

Peach Orchard is great and well worth the drive.

The Calf-fries I've been trying to cook, but having a difficult time when you lower them into the hot grease...that gets the darn calves kicking up a storm! Are we supposed to remove them first before frying?

Lol bream, I have had them once a long time ago cooked up by a rancher friend, he had some very fresh ones. I recall it took a few beers to cut the first one to bite size. These were just fried and were good.

Other wise know at mountain or kentucky oysters. Some people will eat anything. Glad I had my beakfast before I clicked on this post.

Love those Calf Fries!!!

Now grandpa, did you have carp sausage for breakfast?

Not likely too either. LOL

You folks are sick for sure.

Sometimes you just got to cowboy up!

I quit eating those things after my neighbor died from eating them.

Someone forget to tell him to remove them first?

Yep, Bull drug him to death.

Another culinary tragedy that could have been avoided. So very sad.

Do you leave the hair on um?

When i was younger I did a lot of cowboy day work on ranches west of Pecos south to Marfa and to north of the Peak. We always ate and worked at the same time. This was a common practice.

The best way is when they are fresh, Lay a piece of barn tin or sheet metal next to the branding fire as they are taken dump them in a bucket of water to clean them off. Throw them on to the hot metal, once they are cooked the will pop open like a sasuage. Pick them up and eat while they are hot.

$hit, I guess a man could eat just about anything if he is creative enough..

My ex wife's calf fries would be so tuff that they would be branded with the name Brunswick on um

I like them - Mom cooked up a batch - GOOD STUFF.

I can't eat them whole - they need to be sliced or cubed.

Whole makes my imagination work to hard.

They taste like chicken breast to me - a little cheweyer

Does anybody know where you can get any in the d/fw area?I used to get 'em from my buddy in the panhandle but he can't get 'em anymore.Nothin' better than fresh ones with cream gravy and a cold beer!!!

Cattleman's in Fort Worth used to have them. I haven't been there to eat in a couple of years though.

we had several here at the fire station last tuesday. guy that works here runs about 800 mama cows, so we have an endless supply.

there is a difference calf fries are from calves under 400 lbs. anything else is mountain osyters.

I have never had the balls to try them!

Haha I don't care who you are, That's funny right there!!!

If you already have them clened and cut into bite size chunks all you do is Mix up 1 egg,1 cup milk and dip or soak for a bit, then mix up equal parts of flour & cornmeal that has been seasoned with salt & pepper, garlic and other spices you like.. Dip in hot oil, they will float when done.. drain on paper towel. serve with dip or what ever you like...

I'm cooking Turkey Fries this way this eveing for my husband .. Enjoy

of all the things in the world to eat.........sorry won't be doing that unless I am starving.

Sounds tasty!

if they are cooked right...they are pretty darn good!!!

guess it would depend on life and death for me.

dam good eating!!!

You guy's need help. Bull nads! For the love of God if things are that bad, get some ramen noodles......

Nothing better than calf or lamb fries if they are cooked correctly. Had some last week at the Big Texan in Amarillo.

Best p[lace in Central Texas is Hietmillers Steak House in Elm Mott...........

Of all the things that are thrown away from a bovine, why would the balls be kept and eaten. To hell with this and I'll never be a damned part of it.

Gotta branch out boys. Think outside the box a little. If you havn't tried these I think you need to. You are missing something. Mighty tastey and a good piece of good old cowboy Americana.

screw that.

BULL TURKEY BALLS?????????????

M&M Steak House in Ft Worth has them and there pretty good.

I have a feeling they rank with Gizzards for most folks but I like em both with plenty of gravy.

Well, add me to the list the has fallen and tried them. Had dinner at the Reata in Ft Worth tonight. I gotta say, they aint bad! You would not know what you were eating if a couple of them wern't so darned round! A vendor from Minnesota took us out and even they tried them at our urging.
Verdict... I've heard they are good when cooked good and bad when cooked bad. Sounds like just about everything else I have tried.

Instead of gravy I like cocktail sauce but do soak them in buttermilk.

You guys are sick... Absolutly sick I tell ya!

Calf fries are great...we eat them every year when we mark calves.
JR

I'd rather go back to Asia and eat a camel's hump or a camel paw than deeez nuts.!

Never tried that one, but i think it'd be good.

My dad used to cook bunches of them on a week long trip to Ute lake for a big crowd. He dipped them in a milk & egg wash then fried them in a big cast iron pot. He would only use hog lard to cook them in. some mighty fine eating. He also fried all of his fish in lard.
