California Festival Sells Deep-Fried Testicles
Little Rock, California - Around here, it may be tough to pass up anything deep-fried.
Californians in this high desert community have deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies. They now have deep-fried livestock testicles, too. More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the 4th annual Testicle Festival at Mother's Own Bar and Grill in the center of the main highway that runs through town.
"Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like eating any other food, and it tastes good," Buster Choups said.
Festival founder Nancy Ballzer said the festival grew out of her late husband Dick's birthday party 6 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at Mother's Own after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to New Mexico. The event has grown each year and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles, she said.
"What else can you do in a small town?" Ballzer stated.
Dutch Goubam, 78, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said. "After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Goubam said, "but that's also the frame of mind I used when I'd have sex with my late wife, Vera once she turned seventy-two."
