"What to bring to a Man-B-Q? The men in my life love things like smoked ribs and beefy steaks, but then again, so do I. As I stood before my refrigerator and contemplated what to do, it dawned on me that the only logical thing to bring to a Man-B-Q is some part of a man. As luck would have it, I just happened to have a pair of testicles sitting in my freezer."

The consensus that evening was that it was "kind of a like a gamey scallop," though personally, I'd take a full-flavored testes over a sea scallop any day.

I doubt man testicles would be near as good. Probably strong taste. That would make you a cannibal too, huh?

When I was a teenager, I had an uncle that had a small ranch in Texas. I helped during a roundup during which he castrated his calves. Their testicles were put in a bucket, and his wife served them, breaded and fried, for supper. They called them calf fries. They were quite good. I would eat them again, if I had the opportunity.
How he castrated the calves was interesting: he cut off the bottom of their scrotums, grabbed their balls and twisted and pulled them out. He didn't cut the cords.

I remember my grandmother had a fondness for Mountain Oysters. She also breaded and fried them. Not sure if they were sheep or bull testicles.

Whenever I see the above topic, I think of this (old) joke:-
A tourist is in Spain, and goes to a fancy restaurant for dinner. As he looks around, he notices a diner being served a beautifully garnished dish with two gigantic meatballs in the middle. When the waiter asks him for his order, the man asks him about the meatball dish. The waiter explains that the meatballs are bull's testicles, and when the bull loses the bullfight, the bull is brought to the restaurant, and this beautiful dish is made.
The diner tells the waiter that he wants the bulls testicles for dinner, but the waiter tells him that only one bull a day is brought to the restaurant, but he can have it tommorrow. The diner agrees. The next day the diner goes to the restaurant, and orders the testicle dish. When his food is brought out, he notices that the meatballs are extremely small. He mentions this to the waiter, and the waiter replies, ''Well sir you have to understand, sometimes the bull wins''.
