Rocky Mountain oysters. Cowboy caviar. Prairie oysters. Swinging sirloin. Calf fries. Huevos del toro. Criadillas. In plain English, they're bull testicles, and they'll be served up soon for whoever wants some. The second annual Testicle Festival on Aug. 28 will give those who have never sampled the culinary delicacy a chance to do so, and those who love them a nearly endless supply. The event, held by the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau and Agri-Culture groups, is a benefit for the bureau's Young Farmer and Rancher program. The main attraction will be served as hors d'oeuvres. They got the name Rocky Mountain oysters because of their resemblance to a shucked oyster when cut in half. Last year the festival, which drew 115 guests, used about 50 pounds of testicles and ran out in an hour. This year there will be 120 pounds, with about 200 people expected. The huevos del toro are prepared in batter, then deep fried. The testicles will be provided by Freedom Meat Lockers & Sausage Company in Watsonville, and are USDA-approved...more
USDA approved? Do the inspectors have some kind of a testicle tester?
Or do the USDA inspectors grade them, and if so, by what criteria...size, shape?
Most importantly, did these delicacies carry the proper identification? I mean we can't have these livestock parts crossing state lines without the proper ID, right?
I'm sure that Obama and Vilsack are right in their belief our Founding Fathers intended the Commerce Clause to cover calf fries.

Maybe they'll grow to be as big as the Clinton, Montana Testicle Festival where over 5,000 pounds of bull danglies are served. I can never resist a giggle when I hear 'Clinton' and 'testicle' in the same sentence.
