I absolutely have to agree with Bob Zeier that there is a significant taste difference between calf and bull testicles. Personally, I always preferred lamb fries that my dad helped a farmer harvest every spring and brought home to cook for the family when I was a kid. Today, it is not even done with a knife -- they use rubber-band like emasculator rings where the blood supply is cut off and the testicles drop off in the pasture.

"A fresh calf testicle tastes like lobster,'' said Zeier. "You never had anything like it.'' I bet a lot of guys in SF say that.

I have heard this is done, but I can not imagine actually eating one of those things! I don't care what they taste like, there are some things you just don't eat. I am not surprised, however, that an article about eating testicles would appear in a San Francisco newspaper.

Strange, SF Chronicle writers don't have testicles. That's why they write for the SF Chronicle.

Call your dad and ask him how they collected those lamb fries in the 'Olden Days'.

I've never been, but since I live a state away, I've heard plenty of stories about the Testicle festival....its a real happening and is quite wild with bikers, and music and nudity and other stuff.....sort of like a western Woodstock in its permissibility....so I've heard...

Maybe he can acquire a pair for his own use.
By the way, calf fries are delicious>
I used to gobble them up right off the branding iron fire.
Wrestle 'em down, castrate 'em, de-horn 'em, vaccinate 'em, eat their privates, eat the rest of the animal a couple of years later.
Life doesn't get any better than that.

Say everybody, have you seen my balls?
They're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick-me-up
Just stick my balls in your mouth.
Oooh, suck on my chocolate, salty balls.

Wow, I think lamb fries are the BEST, too. I can eat dozens and dozens. Could probably enter one of those contests if I put my mind to it. Alas, I never see them on any menus anymore.
