Calf Fries or "Mountain Oysters" are the delicacies eaten on the working ranches of Texas. They are the part of the bull removed to make the animal a steer. After a long day of "working" cattle, the cowboys will clean the Calf Fries, leaving the membrane intact. They will throw them on the branding fire, sit back, and wait for them to pop open. (Indicating they are done.) The cowboys peel back the membrane and savor the delicious meat. 

We have a little bit more sophisticated way of cooking them in our kitchens. We fry them in batters, crumbs, or cornmeal coatings. In the home or on the open range, they are delicious! 

Caviar is roe of the sturgeon treated by heating, straining, and salting. The best caviar is made only in winter, and one of the causes of its high price is the great difficulty in preserving it. It should be spread on toast and flavored with a few drops of lemon squeezed over it, and is usually eaten as hors d'oeuvres.
