You want fries with that?

#13  He said trying to get testicles into people's shopping bags may be a step too far.

Out of one bag and into another.

#12  Ate 'em in '76 at a high class cattleman's restaurant in Phoenix. Didn't taste much as I preceeded and followed the morsel with a shot of vodka. (I was a very young stockbroker at the time and a client forced this delicacy upon me...)

#8  ...When I was assigned to old Lowry AFB in Denver in 1978 for tech training, the newbies were always taken to a place called (IIRC) After The Gold Rush, where one was expected to down a plate of the damn things. As a dedicated young Airman, I dood my duty.

Yecch.

#6  My grandfather raise cattle in Colorado. Bulls "convetrted" to steer every spring.
My mother refused to try them, but aunts/uncles/cousins say they have the texture of chicken gizzards or hearts, with a flavor sort of that of roast beef (fried with butter and onions).

#3  Howard, they're known as 'Rocky Mountain Oysters' in Colorado and are on the menu of some of the better restaurants.

#2  ...and zinc. Actually, from a nutritional viewpoint, pretty darn good chow.

The Lebanese supermarkets in London don't seem to have any problem getting their hands on the things.
