Heard on the Radio: About Rocky Mountain Oysters (Bull Testicles)
As heard on the radio:
It was another wild weekend when the boys at Left Jab Radio (XM Public Radio) spoke to Matt Powers at the 24th annual Testicle Festival in Clinton, Montana.
It all started back in 1982 when Rod Lincoln at the Rock Creek Lodge wanted to find something to keep the lodge busy after Labor Day. For him the Testicle Festival became the area's signature event.
Back then some 300 turned out to try the regional delicacy. Over time it has evolved into an R-rated party weekend (not a family-friendly event). Among the highlights are "Bullshit Bingo" where people buy a square and a grid for $5. Each time the bull does his thing, somebody wins $100. Then there is the "Biker Ball-Biting Contest". In this event the Rocky Mountain Oyster is put on a clip attached to a line hanging over the street. Girls on the backs of motorcycles try to bite the ball without using their hands. You get the idea.
About the Rocky Mountain Oysters themeslevs, in recent years of 50,000 pounds of USDA approved oysters have been served up. They are prepared in a wet-and-dry sauce with special herbs and spices. They have been likened to chicken and sweet pork.
