1 dozen calf fries

1 cup Canola Oil

4 tbsp. butter

1 clove of garlic crushed

1⁄2 cup flour

1⁄2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Steps

Take the calf fries in their casing and boil in salted boiling water for 10 minutes, drain and let cool. When cool enough to touch, peel casing from the sweetbreads.

"When I was a member of the Sonoma-Marin Cattle Women I served the above recipe to them at our May Ranch Visit meeting which was a potluck and I was responsible for the appetizer. They thought they were eating chicken mc nuggets!"
