Just got a craving for deep fried mushrooms (from reading about fried
shrimp in another thread).

Mmmmmmm.

Any other fans here?

never heard of them before

Years ago, when I bought Kentucky Fried Chicken here in Oz, they used to
sell small deep fried mushrooms, also Sweetbreads as well... My late
wife and I always bought them for a snack.... I don't remember seeing
them still whenever I have gone into a Kentucky Fried outlet...

They were delicious...including those little Lambs Testicals as well!

I don't recall seeing either in KFC in the US, but then I wouldn't expect
to see sweetbreads on any fast food menu here. Few restaurants of any
type
offer sweetbreads. I like them, but have never had them from lamb, only
veal.

Years ago I worked for a brief time for a very exclusive department store
that had an employee's cafeteria without equal. They often had scrambled
brains with eggs for breakfast, and they were delicious. This is also a
dish that is rarely found in the US.

Apologies, Wayne...When I read your post just now, It suddenly came to
me...It wasn't Kentucky Fried, it was a now defunct one...'Homestead' fried
Chicken.... It had a large chain of stores in the 70's and was still around
up to not many years ago in reduced numbers of stores..... It may have been
'bought up' by Kentucky though as they occupied the store immediately where
we used to go down to from home..
