    I confess that the idea of eating testicles as food just doesn't settle well with my palate. Life goes on. For the rest of you, though, there is Angela Garbes' most recent contribution to Seattle's best newspaper, The Stranger:

    I can't say I didn't learn anything. I honestly don't recall ever coming across the term "vaginal tunic" before. I never knew you could get frozen testicles for $2.69/lb. And, frankly, I hadn't realized there was actually a culinary art to preparing testicles for consumption. And according to the mechanical bull operator at the festival, apparently the best way to cook testicles is over an open fire:

    Is there, like, some sort of container or cage or whatever? Or do you just skewer the things like a frankfurter?

    How do you like your testicles cooked?

    Anyone? Anyone?

    I grew up eating Rocky Mountain Oysters (as we called them). They are the meat of the scrotum. Dipped in egg, flour and deep fried. Incredibly tender.

    come on...most of you have to admit you've had worse things in your mouth.

    I can handle liver and testicles. Tripe is too chewy, same with the heart. Gizzards are good.

    How about brain?

    Interesting. I never knew that people who gave oral sex were thought of that way. How sad.

    You gotta clean and cook the tripe properly, usually boiling water on the stove, making strips of tripe, and dipping it for a very short time (a few seconds till it slightly changes color) in the boiling water, followed by scraping/trimming off all the rough parts, yields the yummy soft portions. I'm lazy so I use a pressure cooker to cook it tender, no chewiness at all.

    Even the heart can be cooked pretty well if you don't overcook it. Gizzards are yummy. Brain I liked stir fried on a very hot iron tava, with lots of onions and tomatoes. Bheja (brain) masala fry, we call it.

    Nothing better than pig skin though. YUMMY!!! I do feel a bit of a cannibal eating it though.
    My grandpa used to hang the pig from the bucket of his tractor and slice the skin in long strips. Grandma did something to get the hair off, then cooked it in pieces in VERY hot lard.

    Why the hell would anyone eat an animal's genitals? For fuck's sake, like there's not enough of the animal to feed you that you must resort to its balls. Seriously now...

    P.S.: I heard human testicles were very chewy. Is it like that for other animals?

    Apparently they are very "hot"; they won't let us girls eat them when we get them at Eid ul Zoha.

    Well ... that's sort of point unto itself. The balls I've had in my mouth weren't food.

    As to offal in general, I'll skip the obvious point.

    In the meantime, we all do realize, don't we--since there is an obvious sex/food issue afoot--that eating is the most sensual thing we do, and sex the second?

    Pig Skin is Pork Crackling.
    It's so fattening you might as well tie it around your waist.
