If you eat the testicles, why throw away the anus? One would think, that either would be just as nasty.
As my dad would have said" Anyone who would eat that, would probably eat a dirty pair of shorts too!"
Son you should change your name to closedmind!
Good stuff, breaded and deep fried or grilled, great either way, certainly no more "nasty" than liver or chicken giblets. Turns out you are allowed to wash and soak them too. I do prefer piglets to calves though.0 -

I agree that piglets are better than calves nuts but the piglet nuts are so tiny. If you get bigger pig nuts then the calf nuts are better.
I have never had them grilled only breaded and fried. How do you grill them?0 -
Have eaten many of them. They are wonderful. They peel best if frozen first, then just as they begin the thaw, peel them. Cut them into small chuncks (1"x1") or slice so that the slices are not more than 3/4 to 1" thick. Bread them with your favorite -- can be made "hot" or mild -- cook in hot grease --- when they float, they are done.
Have cooked them for many parties and family gatherings -- often 20-40 lbs at a time. Almost all -- men, women & children -- love them. Occasionally, someone who is quite sqeamish will balk at the thought. However, if they taste them before being told what they are, they are hooked.
Be sure to have enough on hand. At least here (Texas) people will eat a lot of them if they are available.0 -

I don't balk at eating meat, organs, skin, and bits scraped from the face, bones, whatever. Good stuff.
I draw the line at balls. They may be animal's balls but it just is a bit too close to being gay to sit there enjoying a meal of testicles.
GAY!?!?!? How many queers do you know that would chew up and swallow his partners 'oysters'?0 -
Warpig, in those years I worked with a veterinarian in the family and we could come up with several thousand in a week of vaccinating and cutting several hundred pigs a morning. We have done fries of 20 pounds at a time two or three times a summer. You know, invite a few friends.
For grilling it does take larger examples, to keep them from falling through, but sheep and calves work well enough. Clean and remove vas and membranes like normal then just grill them up on a higher grill so they don't cook to quickly and burn. Baste with your favorite sauce before you pull them off the grill.0 -
I'm doing 14 of them tomorrow myself, but I just feed them to the dog. I can't stand to eat em.

Hopefully none of them- but they do enjoy putting their partner's junk in their mouth.
I wouldn't have an issue in those terms about WOMEN eating bull nuts.... it's just the way I feel. I ain't eating something that's full of splooge or once was and that's that.0 -
They are taken before they develop, that is the point. 0 -
Salt, pepper, egg wash, dredged in flour then pan fried. 0 -

Learn something new every day- but I still ain't eating them. Maybe they haven't gone 'on line' yet but that's still what they were designed to do.0 -
Just more for me![^] 0 -

You and I would be fighting over them! [:D]
I also prefer pork to the bull oysters, but we would usually cut them when they were so small that there really wasn't anything to save. Once in awhile one or two would slip through, and if you wait till they are about a 100 pounds, then you would have a treat.
Holding down a 100 pound hog is a different story. I have been drug through all kinds of crap trying to tackle one of those.0 -
Lamb fries are the best but very hard to get. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM[:D][:p][:0][^] 0 -
I have eaten them all -- pigs, calves, lambs. Used to work in the college slaughter house (many years ago). We killed mostly lambs on research projects. Many were left uncut until they reached slaughter weight. Their oysters were about the size of a baseball and perfectly round. Not bad eating when prepared correctly.
Pig's are good but I never had very many to cut at one time that were big enough to save. In my area of Texas many thousands of head of cattle are shipped in from all over the US everyday and are processed locally prior to going into the feedlots or to pasture. One can get a five gallon bucket (or several) almost anytime just for the asking. I keep a few pounds in the freezer for special occasions. I get all of mine from a close friend that will save them from animals that he knows have not yet received growth hormones or recent treatments with antibiotics. I prefer those from calves weighing 300-450 lbs. Smaller ones are very small. Those from the older cattle are bigger and tougher.
If you like them spicy, add some cajun seasoning with your salt & pepper. Mix your egg batter with milk. After cutting them to the correct size, dip them in the egg batter, roll them in the flour mix (I like to use Bisquick), and fry them in very hot grease (I use peanut oil). We use a two-burner propane cooker with two pots going. Helps you stay up with the demand.
I am getting hungry just thinking about it.0 -

I've seen a female dog reach under the wall and pick them up between the steers legs. She then would take them and feed them to her pups. Dangest thing.
Dogs do love them.0
