Platter of lamb fries

Lamb fries are lamb testicles used as food. Historically they were parboiled, cut in half, and seasoned.[1] Lamb testicles are served in a variety of cuisines, including Italian,[2] Basque,[3] breaded and fried in some barbecue restaurants, Chinese,[4] Caucasian,[5] Persian and Iranian Armenian (called donbalan),[6] and Turkish.[7] The dish is rarely served at restaurants in the United States, but can occasionally be found at Iranian restaurants.[6]

Lamb fries, often served in a cream gravy, are a traditional dish in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky.[8]
