millbank Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Specialist cooks from around the world have gathered in Serbia for the World Testicle Cooking Championship. Testicles are regarded as a gourmet delicacy in Serbia and the country is hoping to develop an export market. The championship was organised by Ljubomir Erovic, of the Serbian Tourism Board, as a way of promoting the dish. He said: “The best cooked balls come from Serbia and we wanted to stage this contest to show the world what great dishes can be cooked using testicles, which are known locally here as white kidneys.” Ball Cooking Contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I've come to the conclusion that the definition of "delicacy" is "weird stevestojan that nobody has any right eating, but will because some morons are willing to pay big bucks to do so."

aussiew Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Isn't "sweetbreads" the same thing? From cattle right? When I was growing up in a remote part of Australia, my mum cooked and served almost every part of the animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 A tourist is in Spain, and goes to a fancy restaurant for dinner. As he looks around, he notices a diner being served a beautifully garnished dish with two gigantic meatballs in the middle. When the waiter asks him for his order, the man asks him about the meatball dish. The waiter explains that the meatballs are bull's testicles, and when the bull loses the bullfight, the bull is brought to the restaurant, and this beautiful dish is made. The diner tells the waiter that he wants the bulls testicles for dinner, but the waiter tells him that only one bull a day is brought to the restaurant, but he can have it tommorrow. The diner agrees. The next day the diner goes to the restaurant, and orders the testicle dish. When his food is brought out, he notices that the meatballs are extremely small. He mentions this to the waiter, and the waiter replies, ''Well sir you have to understand, sometimes the bull wins''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 “The best ... balls come from Serbia..." 111602[/snapback] Being 25% serbian myself (last name Stojanovich) I would like to say that this is indeed a true statement.

I have gotten compliments on my serbian balls on more than a handful of occasions. 111708[/snapback] I've been meaning to ask for a while: Do you pronounce your name like the kicker (j=y) or with a hard "j"? I'm guessing the former, even though I pronounce the latter in my head (or out loud when I hit my thumb with a hammer) whenever I read your user name.

In olden times, they were seldom consumed, because the high nitrogen content of them was put to the better use of tanning hides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Like Pete, the old FG kicker for the Fish??? 111734[/snapback] Pete spelled it with a "y," or else I would have asked if he was related...(might still be, as I know immigrants are known to change or use alternate spellings....).

stevestojan Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Like Pete, the old FG kicker for the Fish??? 111734[/snapback] no. he was a Y sound. Actually, i think he had a Y, not a J.
