Grab the Bull by the Balls (and eat them.)

Mountain Oysters. Sound, appealing? Before you book your ticket to Oakdale, let me tell you that “Mountain Oyster” is a euphemism nickname for fried bull testicles.

Volunteers at the annual Testicle Festival—because testicles love a good party—fried up four hundred pounds of bulls’ balls to serve to guests at the event.  Last year, people travelled from all over California to get a taste of these balls, and the event raised $28,000.  Not only did these crazies eat balls, they ate four hundred pounds of them.  You couldn’t pay me $50 to munch on a plate full of animal genetalia, but clearly some people want to go “Balls to the Walls Bellies.”
