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.

I meant to comment on this as well...

I have never tried 'Calves' Testicles, only Lamb one's..As they are very
small, they would suit preparation for deep frying and in a fast food
place..

As for the 'Brains', I love them myself, but I have given up preparing them
and cooking them...And have not had them now for a couple of years...I used
to though... If someone would prepare and cook them I would be in
it...Yummmm

My late wife, Helen, she used to cook Bacon and Lambs Fry (Liver) and
crumbed Lamb Sweet breads quite often for a late breakfast or early
lunch....I love the 3 together...
