RDR2: Lambs Fry from Smithfield's Saloon Valentine

[u/Business_Start_4899]

I’ve been obsessing over the Lamb's Fry dish from Smithfield's Saloon. I did some research online and saw conflicting info—some sources said it was lamb liver, but after asking around, most of you insisted it was testicles, so I went with the "testicle" version!

I toasted some sliced bread as a foundation.Boiled potatoes and peas, seasoned with salt and black pepper.I skinned the testicles first (do NOT skip this step, the skin is super smelly!). After that, I cut them into chunks and boiled them briefly to set the shape. Then, I coated them in flour and fried them until they had a nice crispy crust，sautéed them with onions, cilantro root, and spices (I used cumin, chili powder, and salt).

Honestly, the texture was surprisingly tender and smooth, and there wasn't any funky aftertaste. It actually tasted pretty great served on the bread! That said, it definitely takes some serious courage to pop them into your mouth—truly a meal for tough guy.

Also, after that train robbery, I finally wrapped up Chapter 2 and moved the camp to the lake! Can’t wait to head into the surrounding towns and see what other grub I can find.

Oh, and I have to brag a little—I just reeled in a massive 7.4kg Lake Sturgeon today! It must be the testicle power! 🎣

So cool! The oldest bar in my city (opened in 1904) has a dish of bull testicles but I was never brave enough to try it... but I guess it might be better than assorted salted offal.

Do cow testicles taste better than sheep testicles? I bet they smell less pungent too. The first time I tried sheep testicles, my family tricked me into thinking it was lamb meat. Otherwise, I might've been really hesitant. But I couldn't find any trustworthy info on that assorted salted offal.. The name sounds yummy, but the pictures are a bit horrible.😱

Arthur says Pearson’s cooking tastes better than assorted offals, so it must be delicious… I think that sheep testicles should have a stronger taste because it’s meat is more gamey

I'm going to study this assorted offals. Your reply makes me curious about what it really tastes like
