Wis. Festival Sells Deep-Fried Testicles May 13, 2:56 PM (ET) ELDERON, Wis. (AP) - Around here, it may be tough to pass up anything deep-fried. Wisconsinites have deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies. They now have deep-fried livestock testicles, too. More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin. ![]() "Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like eating any other food, and it tastes good," Buster Hoffman said. Festival founder Nancy Fenske said the festival grew out of her late husband Roger's birthday party 12 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at Mama's Place after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to Montana. The event grew every year and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles, she said. ![]() "What else can you do in a small town?" Fenske said. Butch Joubert, 58, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said. "After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Joubert said. |

Prairie oysters. They come into 'season' during Stampede Week here. I had one once as a kid. The gags adults (on beer) pull on us youngsters, eh .. Damn them LOL.

Yuck... I saw on the Travel Channel that in Japan they serve pig's testicles raw. I had to turn off the TV I got so sick. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

It was on this guy's show: http://travel.discovery.com/tv/bizarre-foo...arre-foods.html I don't think it was something that all Japanese eat. He went to a special restaurant that specializes in weird stuff. The translation of the restaurant's name was "Morning Erection"! In addition to the raw sliced pig testicle, they also served raw frog, with the meat arranged around the open-eyed decapitated head! That's when I turned the TV off. I'm getting a little nauseous now just thinking about it. |

Ewwwww.... Me too! LOL! The oddest thing I've ever eaten, (besides cat and dog in Korea), is Iwashii no shinzo. Literally, a sardine heart, and when they serve it, it's still beating. I had some kind of marinated crickets, too.... I wasn't too crazy about those. The sauce was weird... |
