Prairie Oysters

Prairie Oysters are bull testicles that have been peeled (and sometimes flattened), and either battered and deep-fried or served in a demi-glace. They're pretty good, but if I'm gonna eat a bunch of deep-fried stuff, I think I prefer clams. I wonder if that makes me an institutional homophobe.

RATING: 79%

They aren't bad. I'm not big on organ meat, though. They're also known as Rocky Mountain Oysters. In my neck of the woods, they're called Calf Fries. The best are at the Ponder Steakhouse,. Well, maybe not the best. More like the only place Viking Andrew has or ever will have Calf Fries ever ever.

I had calf fries in Fort Worth and they were OK. I'd maybe get them again.
