![]() He is a fine entertainer.ĭoes the song by Bill Smallwood contain the lyrics ""Rocky Mountain Oysters, I'm sure you think they're fine. Hey there's a fellow, Gary Phipps in north platte Was this song supposed to be from a pig's point of view? I mean, you wouldn't actually eat them raw I hope, because that sounds absolutely revolting. Yes, they probably look like oysters when they are raw, but they aren't really like oysters. ![]() Personally, I think they call them Rocky Mountain oysters as a kind of trick, because they know no one would ever try them if they were outright called "bull testicles." I mean who would ever want to eat something like that, unless they were participating in Fear Factor or some other kind of shock show like that? I'll bet with the right Rocky Mountain oysters recipe you'd really enjoy them. It seems like people are a bit squeamish about it, but there's no real reason for it. And I don't really see the problem, myself. Back when they really had to use every part of the animal, they wouldn't see a problem with eating the testicles as well. Plus, offal tends to be very nutritious, as it's composed of more than just muscle and fat. I mean, it's inevitable that testicles are going to be seen as an emblem of strength to some people, and a lot of tribes once believed that if you eat the part of the animal symbolizing something, you will draw that quality into yourself. Roxy in DenverĪugust 31, - Actually, people have been eating the testicles of various kinds of animal for as long as they have been hunting animals. November 8, The guy who wrote it was named Bill Smallwood, and there isn't an MP3 of this song (yet! I have a cassette tape of it somewhere, recorded off the radio!) I am an RMO song fan as well. you can 'hide' it by mixing 20-50 percent in ground beef patties. If you don't like the taste of liver etc. (Only thing I won't try is rectum, since I heard it tastes like, well.) Turns out that offal (liver, heart, testicle etc.) is extremely nutritious, and affordable since no one buys it!Īt least suck it up and try these things once in your life. For millennia, people would eat almost every part of the animal and somewhere along the line we got conditioned into thinking offal is 'gross'. Only buying muscle meat and leaving the rest go to waste is so wasteful (and disrespectful if you will). Remove from pan and allow to drain on paper towels.People are such little sissies nowadays about meat that isn't boneless, skinless muscle meat. ![]() Fry medallions in hot oil for several minutes, until crispy and brown. Dip medallions in flour, then the egg mixture, then the flour again. Peel the outer membrane from the testicles, and slice the testicles into medallions. Parboil the testicles in boiling water with a splash of salt for 1-2 minutes. Whisk eggs in a large bowl with milk, and in a separate large bowl season the flour with salt and pepper. Small handful of parsley for garnish (optional) We hope you’ll give it a try and let us know what you think!ġ pack White Oak Pastures grassfed beef testicles This Harris family testicle recipe has been passed down through many generations. They are typically served fried as an appetizer, and would be a great surprise for your dinner guests or as a culinary adventure for yourself or your family. Sometimes called “Rocky Mountain oysters” or “cowboy caviar,” these are a unique and novel nose-to-tail treat. When our mature bulls are slaughtered, we offer grassfed beef testicles to our customers as part of our commitment to ensuring no part of the animal goes to waste. Our cattle are humanely processed in our on-farm abattoir. He has more incentive to get away than the big bull does to pick on him, and he has enough space to do so. If a big bad bull wants to bully a little bull, the little guy can just keep on walking. While the term ”bully” comes from the behavior of bulls, we don’t have a problem with aggressive bulls out on open pasture. To meet the highest standards in these programs, we don’t perform any physical alterations on our animals, including castration, dehorning, or branding. Global Animal Partnership, Animal Welfare Approved, and Certified Humane all have thick manuals that detail what good animal welfare looks like. It’s one of the practices we did away with in our transition to a kinder, gentler agriculture, in an effort to reduce the infliction of pain on the animals. As Will Harris says, you just can’t keep a bunch of bulls in confinement it’s like the worst prison movie you’ve ever seen.įor over 100 years, White Oak Pastures castrated everything on this farm that wasn’t named Harris. Said to reduce aggression, the practice likely came about with the confinement of cattle in crowded conditions where the animals aren’t free to roam and express natural instinctive behaviors. Castration of male animals is a common practice in the livestock industry.
