Re: (...)
I grew up eating these - my mom loved cooking them for company dinners and she would also have a platter of fried chicken for the faint-of-heart.
Houseboat Don is coming up the 22nd and bringing some for us. I've never cooked them myself - I know mom breaded and fried them, but has anyone fixed them in some manner they really like?? Tried & true - I can google for ideas.

I've only had them breaded and fried. Usually served with French fried potatoes. A garden type salad was also common, condiments were pickles, jalapenos, onion slices. Cole slaw was also a periodic side. I liked them once a year at calf cutting time.

So far, no, but have always wondered about trying them. Here, they're available right out in the open in the same area where the supermarket has already packaged ground beef, ground pork, etc. It's not even necessary to make a special order.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Sorry, the only time I ever had them was with you and Billy, breaded and fried.

Okay, I've gotta ask....are you referring to the item I know of as Rocky Mountain Oysters? I've only ever had them as a by-product of round-up (turning a bull into a steer to be specific) at my uncle's ranch. There they are grilled over oak logs. I was told they had to be very fresh to be edible!

Yes, but we always fried them. They have to be fresh--there is definitly a season!!!
