Saturday's festival in Weston, Missouri, drew 700 people from both sides of the state line to sample the deep-fried delicacy. "I'm gonna say I've had some very tender balls," one attendee joked.
At the first-ever Weston Testicle Festival on Saturday, the star of the show was 400 pounds of deep-fried pig balls — and an avalanche of lewd jokes served on the side.
You might know Rocky Mountain oysters by other names or animals — “cowboy caviar” or “bull fries” — but around here, says organizer Parker Shute, the dish is traditionally made with pork testicles.
With supplies sourced from Paradise Locker Meats in Trimble, Missouri, volunteers worked all day Friday to prepare the mountain oysters — first by cutting and removing the outer membrane, then straining out the juices.

They are not bad. Used to throw them into a pan of hot oil right after castrating the calf. Just a little cleaning.

..."But many of the day’s 700 attendees were game for sampling the mountain oysters — “the original sack lunch,” as the event merchandise declared — and found them not as strange as they expected.
Mike Brennan of Kearney, Missouri, said he was invited by a friend who lives in Weston, and likes trying “different” foods like escargot and frog legs. This was his first time sampling pork balls, but said the style of breading made it so “you probably couldn't tell the difference between mountain oysters and fish, really.”...
