Mouse testicles have become a hot seller in Taiwan since five infertile couples said they concieved after eating dishes containing the organs.

The craze took hold after a bulldozer driver in the southern county of Pingtung and his wife concieved their long awaited baby about a month ago the United Daily News said.

The couple had previously consulted western medical doctors but were not given the cause of their infertility, the paper said.

[stylin_geek]

There is, or was, a restaurant in San Luis Obispo, CA, that had them as a side dish.

I've eaten Mouse Balls before - a bit rubbery, and larger than one would think...

Worst part about it is they didn't even bother to cook 'em.

Ever wonder why his voice is so high?

"Worst part about it is they didn't even bother to cook 'em." Sheesh, you're right:

They then bought six kg of raw mouse testicles at the restaurant, which became part of their daily meals until the pregancy was confirmed.

It sounds like castrating rats is a thriving job opportunity....:)
