Bull Fries

[cowgirl]

I live in beef country, no mountains in sight...so these are referred to as "Bull Fries". Sometimes I cook "Calf fries".... but never "mountain oysters". :grin:

I work with them while they are still fairly frozen..

slice around the outer membrane ..

peel back...

slice as thick as you like.
Calf fries get halved most of the time, but I cut bull fries this way.

My favorite way to prepare them is a simple egg milk bath and a saltine cracker dip.

I use the 3/4 ton cracker crusher (pickup) when I have several to do, but this was a small batch, so I crushed the crackers with the rolling pin. :grin:

decided to fry up some canned okra from the garden..

used an egg milk bath and cornmeal fish coating....

used the double burner this time...

the "girls" came over to check things out.

Bull fries, okra, beer.... supper was ready.

The fries were pretty tasty.. :grin:

I know it's not for everyone. I'm a fan, my friends enjoy them....and it was a nice way to spend the day!

Thanks for lookin'.

And a few minutes ago, I was scanning to see if you had a recent post. This one makes me hungry even though I haven't been able to try any. Near my hometown growing up, there was a "Testicle Festival" every year. It was a huge event. I still have never been.

I hope you get to try them sometime, Jeremy! They're pretty tasty. :grin:
I would love to go to a festival!

I'm behind in posting cooks. I've been under the weather for a few days. Getting my appetite back though.
Thanks Jeremy! :grin:

I hope you are back to 100%. Thanks for always keeping hungry for more!

You talking about the Olean Testicle Festival, Jeremy? Go nuts and have a ball is one of their advertising catch-phrases. Used to be held the first weekend of June. I think they hit 25 years before Covid. I am not sure if it is still going on or not.



Jeannie, That was a good tutorial and the food looks spectacular. I haven't fries in years.

Jeanie, is there anything you can't make magazine cover worthy.

 

[bowhnter]

I’ve never had ‘em, but would probably try.

Get to feelin better!

That's taking the bull by the, er, horns. I have never tried them, nor even had any idea of how to cook them, but you did that dish right!

 

[Lahawk1]

I would have to pass.

 

[Mike Twangzer]

Don't know if you are a better cook or a better photographer .... maybe both ... Looks amazing!!!

 

[jzadski]

Looks delicious of course but, if I knew what they were before trying I wouldn't :-o

 

[kevinstaggs]

I've been eating them since I was a kid - doesn't get any better.

 

[ModelMaker]

Wow!

[bluetang]

Nicely done!

Very nice. I have never had Bull or Calf Fries but would like to try them some day

 

[Fatback Joe]

Looks great!

Have you tried using venison? I did them for the first time this fall and became an instant fan. Once you get over any mental block, it is good eats.

 

[halfcocked]

Looks great. Never had them but would not hesitate. Meat is meat. Is this a full meal or appetizer?
