growing up on a Nebraska Ranch, every spring we had these. Not a fan of them at all. Since this is happening in Nolan's home town, What do you think Mr. Burl Mister???
 
Mountain Oysters

I grew up within walking distance of Belmont Race Track in New York. The grooms and stablehands would almost fight over the testicles of a horse that was gelded. They called them Mountain Oysters. I never ate any but have eaten tongue, liver, heart, brain, knuckle, and tail of various animals so I guess I would at least try a taste. Probably safer than peanuts, spinich, peppers and pistachio nuts.
 
Dont know if I would have the testicular fortitude to try them, kinda makes me weak in the knees just thinking about it......
 
Being born an raised here in S Texas, the oysters as we called them were often eaten at large gatherings like Easter or birthday parties and such, were not so bad. But more often we had Barbacoa de cabeza. My family owned and operated a tortilladilla or wholesale tortilla bakery. We sold corn and flour tortillas along with tamales, taco and chalupa shells and on weekends, Barbacoa de cabeza. This is the head of the cow cooked in a special way then the meat and er...... other parts seperated and sold by the pound. My dad was often heard telling people that "wouldn't eat anything that comes from a cows head!", "you eat eggs don't you."
 
I'm not fond of the taste of the big ones from bulls, calves are much better. But what is really good is deep fried turkey testicles with a splash of Tobasco and a cold beer.
 
Back in the 70's I spent a summer working on my uncle's farm in Iowa. One morning I caught and held the baby pigs while he used his single edge razor blade to get these out of them. He said it not only helped reduce their aggressiveness, but more importantly it increased their market price. If you left them in, their meat had a much stronger, more intense flavor, which was not as desirable.
 
Ain't nothin' new...

The fine folks from Oklahoma have been celebrating such things in large crowds for almost 30 years. My insurance agent is from that area and boasts of being the winning cook for the calf fries contest. I asked him if you didn't win if you were considered "cut" from the herd.

My favorite part of this is the "Belle of the Ball."

There isn't enough beer in the world that would make them taste good to me! Never had them, heck I don't even have them atached to my body (although I do own a pair :biggrin::biggrin::rolleyes:). But NO thank you!

Well, did you at least have the decency to let your "bull" keep wearing them, or are they pinned to a wall? Or are they perhaps in a vise?

And my dear, there is ALWAYS enough beer in the world to make ANYTHING taste great!!! Come to Colorado and I'll prove it to you. By the time we get done with you, you'll be the Queen of the Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival! Grand Prize is a select pair, bronzed, so you'll be able to give the other ones back.

Making your reservation as we speak,

Dale

This Nebraska guy thinks it is a luxury meal I can't always find when I have the craving for it.
 
Theres a restaurant in OKC that is fairly famous "Cattleman's Steak House" and one of it's specialties is calf fries. When ever dignitaries come to OKC thats were they are taken, its in the stock yards and have the best steak in Ok. BTW when ever I go to see Paul-in-OKC I always try to make it at lunch time, his shop is only a few blocks from the restaurant and they also have the best hamburger in town...... And yes I've tried them once, not bad but not something I crave.
