Diners can 'have a ball' at testicle festival

Mar 27, 9:55 PM (ET)


OAKDALE, Calif. (AP) - The fundraising idea may seem a little nuts, but Oakdale's annual Testicle Festival is always a big hit. On Monday, volunteers with the town's Rotary Club plan to fry up 400 pounds of the private parts of bulls and serve them to diners who pay $50 apiece for the sit-down meal.

The event, whose proceeds also benefit the Oakland Cowboy Museum, has drawn an average of 450 people and last year raised $28,000.

It's common practice on cattle ranches for young male bovines to be castrated into steers, which after the initial loss, eventually makes them more docile and easier to handle. Fans of the delicacy, also referred to as "mountain oysters," come from around the state.

According to Rotarians, everyone who buys a ticket is guaranteed to "have a ball."

Lol, that's right around the corner from me.

No, I will not indulge.

Oh, this could get ugly, real quick, LOL.

As for the initial post... I'm sorry. I just... don't... get it. Why would anyone, in their right mind, want to eat a testicle? :shake: I mean, did someone look at one dangling off the bull and said, "Hey! You know, I bet, if we cut that puppy off and deep-fry it, it'll be quite tasty!" WTF? But, then again, I don't get why people eat a lot of sh*t, from fish eggs to snails to whatnot.

I don't eat meat. But if I did, and when I did, you know what I ate? A $#%^ing nice piece of STEAK! Not the balls, or the brains, or the tongue, or some other whacked-out #$^&ing part... just a nice normal piece of steak!! What, there isn't enough of the 1000-pound steer to eat? You have to go for the weird parts?

And I don't care how good they might taste. I don't care if they taste like friggin' candy. It could taste like the best thing you've ever tasted. But it's still a @#$^ing BALL!! Come ON, people! :Eason:
 
no different from eating liver. rm oysters are good.

Course, I'll eat pretty much anything on a theory of not being wasteful.

If it was going to be wasted if I didn't eat it, and it was cooked and safe, then yes. I can't say I wouldn't think about what I was eating, though. I'd certainly give it a shot under those circumstances. It's just meat.

I eat most of my meals from what my wife and kids don't finish. I've been to China and Russia, as well as some uber-poor island spots, and you wouldn't believe the stuff that ended up on my plate...and then in my belly. It's my little green streak - green here being money rather than "Mother Nature", but green nonetheless.

Claremonster would understand. Those injuns used all the parts of a buffalo. (Actually no kidding, that made a big impression on me as a young 'un, and I sorta carried it with me.)

Note: that doesn't mean I'd go out of my way to pay more for weird things, or go to a restaurant for that purpose. That's just as wasteful.

I kinda thought you'd answer like that lol! When you have 5 kids you gotta strech a buck! You'd make a Great Brit with their kidney pie, blood pudding and eel subs top with mayo.

I might have the wrong fish name, but they had sub buns with what appeared to be black eels, thin ones. Ya' know the fish that look like this. The eat eel in Europe. Amd jellied eel is a delicacy in London. Ugh!

And from wiki....

The steak and kidney pie is a typical British dish with a filling of diced beef steak and beef (ox), lamb's or pig's kidneys in a thick sauce. It is often, but not always, a one-crust pie, which means that the filling is covered but not completely enclosed by the pastry.

Agreed. Wasting food, parts of animals is wrong, IMHO.

I can't believe I made this brilliant post (below) in the testicle thread and haven't even got hissed at. I thought sure someone would chuckle. I'm incredibly sad about this.

So I've decide to give you all a second chance by taking you out into the kitchen for a better look at the Yak penis:

And by blowing up my Modified sig so you can't miss it.

Lamb fries.
Rocky Mountain oysters.
Cowboy caviar.
Montana tendergroins.

Never had 'em before, but I can't say that I would never try them.

I can, however, say that I wouldn't pay $50 to try them.
