Testicle recipes: cooking with nuts?

Posted by: Robert Basler
Tags: Oddly Enough, , , ,

I just don’t know exactly when I turned into some kind of carnival sideshow barker.

testicles-240.jpgMy blog’s e-mail this week has included a photo of a two-headed dog, an offer of exclusive photos of a woman with 60-pound breasts, and a press release on a book where some chef shows how to cook up animal testicles for dinner.

I’m happy to say I turned down the poor dog and passed on the heavy breast photos, although it would be nice to have that woman’s address to invite her to our Christmas party this year.

As for the cookbook, I do recommend you watch our video report on this chef, whom I believe has a cable show on the Castration Station.

His book guides you through testicle pizza, testicle pie, etc. I am not making that up. Have a look, because this strikes me as the most efficient possible cuisine if you’re cooking for two.

Ah, so if you like his cooking, instead of saying “my compliments to the chef” you could say “SOUND OFF LIKE YOU GOT A PAIR!”… Well, unless you work in the kitchen….

I can’t imagine a more exquisite prank than to serve up some steaming testicle pot pie to my ex-husband. It would make the past 13 years of knowing him well worth it.

“Would you like some salt with that? Yes, the gravy is quite nice.”

Wow…reading back over that, I’m a little creeped out by myself. I’m sorry. I think it’s the pregnancy hormones, Bob. Forgive me.

Beef testicles are not that great but lamb testicles are another matter… We call them mountain oysters and, boy, they are delicious! A typical hunter’s hilltop barbecue won’t go without lamb’s liver, kidneys and testicles.

Dear Bob,
Did K actually write, “pregnancy hormones” or are you just trying to terrify us for Halloween?

Your friend in hiding,
Shawn

P.S. Sawdust in the Vasaline. That cracks me up.

Welcome back, mysterious stranger. Of course K really wrote that. Don’t mess with her.

It is nice to know there’s a cookbook for nuts.LOL. I swa a lady eating a gonad on television while I was writing my second mystery, Just North of Luck, set in a remote mountain region. I decided to add a humorous romp at a Testicle Festival, and readers are still commenting about it. Weird, but intriguing.
