better than this sounds:
Wis. festival sells deep-fried testicles

Sun May 13, 2:56 PM ET

ELDERON, Wis. - 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 ( or shochus heheheh I added that–zen ), you can’t really tell the difference,” Joubert said

I missed out on a testicle festival by 2 days on a US road trip. Shucks! I want to eat balls.

In Japan we have fish testes sometimes. Actually, it’s just the sperm minus the ball.

When I was 13 my mother, her boyfriend at the time and I went out to a steakhouse and they ordered, “Rocky Mountain Oysters”. They wouldn’t tell me what it was until after I ate some. They weren’t deep fried, but those balls were pretty darn good. Hell of a lot better than the cow brain tacos I ate at a Mexican joint in Minnesota, or fried scorpian in Nagoya. I actually did an exchange program to Eau Claire Wisconsin. It was supposed to be a year, but the born again Christians scared me into going back to New Mexico a semester early.
