not that eating animal genitalia is any different than eating any other part of any other animal.  but still... the idea.

they are talking about it on diners, drive ins, and dives on food network.

Where I grew up too (Virginia), then I moved to Texas and they were called Calf Fries.  I'm happy to say I never had the desire to try them......http://bestsmileys.com/puking/1.gif

you know you've (read: "me") been watching too much "Andrew Zimmern"  :-[ when RMO is almost starting to sound like "normal fare" ...(all grossness aside, ...)

while, even though in m meat eating days - i probably would have found that disgusting - i do believe that if the animal is going to die - better indeed to use as much of the body for consumption as possible...

One of the guys at work was telling us how a group of men get together and bite the testicles off of the animal to show how manly they are.

I can think of a jillion things that are more manly than biting the balls off of an unknowing and helpless animal.

i saw something on animal planet about this guy who's a farmer... a goat farmer, maybe?  and instead of surgically castrating his animals, he bites the testicles off.  what.the.hell?  when did he think, "gee, i should try doing that instead?!"

It's been done in Britain since the Dark Ages, from what I've read. Getting a vet to come out and "do" piglets, sheep etc. was a "newish" idea in Herriot's day, and that was in the 1940's. Yergh.

Waaaay back in the day, (must be 20 plus years ago) I bought some bull's testicles without knowing what they were (the Spanish word meant nothing to me.) Followed the butcher's prep instructions to the letter. When DH found out what they were (and he had to tell me, I still didn't know) he said, "Great! Now I won't be able to sit down for a week, thinking about it!"

Lived here for over half my life. Well over. Naturalised. Last time I was in the States was in 96...didn't feel like "home" anymore. This place fits me.

The States don't feel like home to me either.

I was just watching The Thirsty Traveler and he was in Canada drinking rye whiskey with some cowboys and they ate these. He said they were pretty good....

Actually, to me they never really did. For preference I'd probably live in France, but...well, here's OK. I'll be happier when summer's over, though.
