I thought this was a joke.

Apparently not..

That festival will probably see an increase in attendance once the chess-head meat-heads find out about it.

In America they're called Rocky Mountain Oysters.

 

 

Yea, that's right.  Why do they call them that?  Why don't they call them Bull Balls?

As the joke goes, sometimes the bull dies sometimes the matador dies ...

They are reputed to be an aphrodisiac, as are oysters. If you've had pan fried oysters with a little breading, you've had a dish very similar in appearance to Rocky Mountain oysters.

Doesn't change the fact that I know where they came from.

Strangely enough, I can quote you in the normal way now. I was sleeping with my tummy full of chicken.

Favorite Indian curry is chicken makhani (murgh makhani).  mmm.  It's sooo difficult to pull off though.  Needs to have a buttery (clarified ghee) foretaste, a tempered tomato midtaste, and a wash of spices (garam masala, coriander, & cumin) as the aftertaste.  With cilantro leaves on top......mmm.

Most restaurants I've been to make it taste like Ragu.  

 

How do you know that much?!Surprised

This is called 'Paye'.

Tk: Of course without the feet. You eat the feet?

Paye doesn't have the feet. It is the lower part of the leg, which is below the knee. Above the ankle.

I spoke to my brother in law in Pindi yesterday, they were having Paye, he told me deliberately because he knows I have a particular aversion to it.  I remember going to Peshawar, there you could buy brain, some animals brains to eat, or goats testicles.  For goodness sake what's wrong with Brussels sprouts or cauliflower?

Robbie: It is Rawalpindi. And people eat that 'Brain Masala'. Dunno about the testicles. Pakistanis eat cauliflower a lot. Dunno about the brussels sprouts.

I think they believe that Brussel sprout and cauliflower have too many  prions and they prefer eating testicles, hooves, snouts, rectums and all the things that are of course, very clean and tasty.
