has anyone here smoked lamb liver, kidneys etc? how'd they go? mum used to cook the most wonderful lambs fry and bacon. i don't know if americans are farmilliar with it? its floured sliced lamb liver, cooked in a pan with bacon and a lovely gravy made from the drippings. the more health concious may prefer a different style of gravy. mum was an traditional cook, hence fat wasn't seen as bad. she cooked lambs fry, steak and kidney pie, shepherds pie, roast everything, braised steak and onions, hearty soups and stews, traditional currys etc. deserts were bread and butter custard, trifle, caramel dumplings (also in her stews), lemon merange pie, grammer pie, cheese cake etc. aaahhhh. sure miss her.
sorry for the nostalgia trip people. i just got carried away.

smoked some ox tail yesterday.
trimmed some fat, rubbed with a mixture of olive oil n garlic, marmalaide jam, soy sauce curry powder. smoked with 1 oz of oak. 2 hrs 225, foiled then 1 hr at 250. as they are finger food we waited till they cooled enough to pick up with our hands. grease all round! but boy, they were good.

The only thing I ate close to Lambs liver is Beef liver and onions. It was actually calf's liver, use to eat it all the time until I realized what the liver does and how much cholesterol it has in it...same as shrimp. It is good though.

The gravy drippings are always good, we made gravy from bacon drippings and some flour (made a roux) and poured it over hot biscuits. My Grandmother called it "Poor-mans-Gravy".

Now that fall is here in the east coast....biscuits-n-gravy sound pretty good right about now!!!
Here in Oklahoma they eat mountain oysters..and lots of cream gravy and biscuits. Bacon drippings used to be my favorite way to season but like most people we have changed our habits.I still use a TBS once in a while for seasoning.
dundee, in PA Dutch country we grind all the offal together and make Scrapple.SWDave knows all about it too.
I have had smoked beef Tongue.I would say that might hold up to long smoking.I just can't face it myself.
