I'm not sure if you do or don't. Some folks on this list do
seem to be obsessed with such items. The subject seems to
come up quite often. Anyway, "calf fries" are beef testicles.
Usually cut off when turning a male calf into a steer.

For recipes and other info, check this file in the FOOD section
of the Florilegium:
organ-meats-msg   (70K)  8/28/00    Period cooking of organ meats.

Along this line, although I doubt the parts cut off were eaten, is this file
in the CULTURES section:
eunuchs-msg        (6K)  3/30/00    Eunuchs and castration in period. Referances
