Rocky Mountain Oysters...

A man was visiting Spain and passed by a restaurant in Madrid after a bullfight. They were advertising that they served the balls of the bull who lost the bullfight.
Intrigued, the man went inside, only to find that there was a six-week waiting list to get to eat the loser’s balls. So he signed up and came back six weeks later.
When he got his meal, there were two teeny, teeny balls on his plate. He called the waiter over to complain.
“I’ve waited six weeks for bull balls. What are these?”
“Sir,” the waiter said, “the bull doesn’t always lose.”

My dad used to love telling this story on his grandparents:
They were traveling in Virginia if I remember correctly, and they stopped at a little restaurant to get some lunch. They're checking over the menu and his grandmother said she wanted some of those mountain oysters. Well, grandpa kept telling her no she didn't. She said she wanted them, that she loved oysters. He finally looked at her and said, "those aren't oysters, they're bull balls!"
Needless to say, she didn't get the oysters.

An old friend of mine always said he liked their "rich, nut like flavor"
Heard of a guy who died from eating rocky mountain oysters, bull drug him through a barb wire fence!
In New Mexico at branding time they would throw the calf balls in the branding iron fire to cook them.

We fry up the mountain oysters from our calf crop every year. Hasn't killed me or my family yet. We usually get a 5 gallon bucket full.
Linda Brown from Mindebur ranch had her recipe published in a cooking magazine in around 1983.

I would have let my wife order them SO FAST it would make your head spin. Then, after they were gone, I would have told her what they were. Yeah, maybe I am mean.
Years ago, I belonged to an Eagles Club. One Sunday afternoon we fried a bunch, along with some wild turkey breast. Some of the ladies got into the oysters, thinking they were turkey, and just went on about that being the best turkey they had ever eaten. Someone finally enlightened them, and it was a mad exodus to the ladies room.

I was born and raised on a fairly big farm, we had 297 head at one time , w/ all the machinery, horses and land it took to support them.

I actually think they taste like fish when you bread them and deep fry them.
We call them Prairie Oysters up here. Been eating them every spring for about 40 years now. A few cooked right above the irons and the rest later with butter and garlic in the frying pan. Nothing wrong with them, they are still better than liver........and I like liver!

I`ll pass on livers , hearts, and any kind of balls !!

I love liver and onions with bacon, mashed potatoes and a veggie and gravy.
You can keep the rest of that stuff. Don't testicles store semen in them? Something to think about before you swallow lol

I have no prob eating the heart. Liver kidneys and the sort are filters which I throw away after use. Nuts tried em once no flavour and kind of woody. Mom always said you can’t say you don’t like it unless you try it so don’t like it.
They wouldn't even get near my plate.
