Rocky Mountain Oysters

Despite what the name might initially indicate, Rocky Mountain oysters are not actually oysters. No, this dish is actually made from bull testicles. These testicles are coated in batter, deep-fried, and then served with a nice cocktail sauce. This American favorite is most commonly served in parts of the West laden with cattle ranches. Originally thought of as ‘cowboy fare,’ this tasty treat was often cooked up after the castration of a bull took place on the range. Now, they are served as a novelty dish. Many say they taste like any other part of the animal, but with a juicier texture.
