Diners Can 'Have A Ball' at Testicle Festival

OAKDALE, Calif. (AP) -- The fundraising idea may seem a little nuts, but Oakdale's annual Testicle Festival is always a big hit. On Monday, volunteers with the town's Rotary Club plan to fry up 400 pounds of the private parts of bulls and serve them to diners who pay $50 apiece for the sit-down meal. The event, whose proceeds also benefit the Oakland Cowboy Museum, has drawn an average of 450 people and last year raised $28,000.


It's common practice on cattle ranches for young male bovines to be castrated into steers, which after the initial loss, eventually makes them more docile and easier to handle. Fans of the delicacy, also referred to as "mountain oysters," come from around the state. According to Rotarians, everyone who buys a ticket is guaranteed to "have a ball."

Rocky Mountain Oysters are a seasonal dish in many casino restaurants along I-80 from Wells to Reno, but they are too chewy for me to enjoy. There's usually a food stand at the annual Basque Festival in Elko that has a long line waiting for their special treat. And the Cowboy Poetry Festival attracts some regional cooks competing for who can make the testicles more palatable. I'll stick with the artery-clogging Chicken Fried Steak. The white cream and pepper gravy covers up a multitude of carnivorous sins.

But if I ever walk into a kitchen a discover a real chicken frying the steaks, I'll take it as a signal someone slipped something in my Kool Aid.
