Testicle Festival: At least it's done for charity
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | June 1, 2008 | Kathy Stevenson

WOODRUFF - "Welcome to the Black Gold Cattle Company's eighth annual Testicle Festival," says the rodeo announcer over the loud speaker. "Come and have a ball." The pun, of course, is intended. No need to blush or shake a conservative head. The two-day event which ended Saturday pays tribute to cowboy traditions and raises almost $30,000 for charity, said organizer Kalon Downing. Once just a small community gathering, the festival attracts hundreds of people to this Utah ranching community, about 30 miles north of Evanston, Wyo. Cowboys come to compete for prizes in old-time rodeo events such as range bull riding and team Testicle Festival branding, which are no longer part of modern day competitions, said Downing. But plenty of curiosity seekers come to try the deep-fried Rocky Mountain Oysters - or, to be anatomically correct, bull testicles. The cowboy caviar is part of the "Sack Lunch Special" that includes a cheeseburger and a drink for $5.

This is so disgusting.

But I read it anyway.

There is no way I would eat that (unless I was starving). I wouldn’t CHOOSE to eat it.

They are really good. I thought the same thing; but since my parents raised cattle; I had to eat them.

I thought it was a “beauty contest”, which is odd enough, not an cooking and eatin’ festival.

I think I will be going on that diet today, I’ve lost my appetite

If they didn’t provide a sauce to go with them then they would have no taste at all or at least that is my experience with mountain oysters. Also reminded me of chicken gizzards somewhat in texture.
