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

In the film Funny Farm, the main character, Andy Farmer (Chevy Chase), breaks a local record by eating thirty lamb fries, only to discover what they actually were and spit the thirty-first out in revulsion.
