Well anyway, Piton. Let's just tell Ken Booperson here, "at least that is a good start". We have to be encouraging in all things here on ST. Shows talent I would also suggest.

Sometimes, when castrating cows, I've been known to keep them and take them home and fry them up. I bread them with panko and serve them with bulldog sauce, which is sort of like a thick, sweet worcestershire. Good stuff!

It's a vet thing. We might not understand. Or maybe she hasn't gotten to the cow/bull thing yet.

Boo, hell yeah I've eaten them!!
Get this bro, when we would castrate reindeer in western Alaska from the big herds, we would have buckets of the things to take home.
Castration seems harsh, but is more humane than the old method of simply crushing them between a couple rocks.......
Kinda makes yer skin crawl don't it?

I point you to definition 2:
cow noun \ˈkau̇\
1. a : the mature female of cattle (genus Bos)
b : the mature female of various usually large animals (as an elephant, whale, or moose)
2 : a domestic bovine animal regardless of sex or age

Thanks, Peter! One of the endearing aspects of life on the Taco Stand is how folks here are always supporting others for expanding our lives' horizons. Here, no one would ever say that you can't teach an old Dawg new trix!
Survival: Why were you picking on the poor reindeer? Over-grazing? Not enough hunters/wolves?
Speaking of definitions, this is a bit OT, but just so we don't get too serious on this thread:
The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked reader to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing of one letter, and supply a new definition. Here is one of the 2005 winners:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the
subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

Funny how there is only one non-male posting to this thread, but one who can legitimately claim a professional interest in the subject. I'd have thought that the LEB, for example, would be fascinated by the subject.

And willing to "steer" us in the right direction...
All you could eat every spring at the Lumberjack Saloon, outside of Lolo Montana...for two bucks.
Doesn't Rock Creek have a testical festival? Yikes.
Used to covet the t-shirt, "you can have a ball at the Livingston Bar and Grill" and featured a cartoon bull holding its package.
Had 'em at the Proud Cut in Cody, WY too. They were unusually large there. Very proud, I'd say.
If you beat a hot dog flat, and, breaded it, fried it, probably taste fairly similar. Texture would be spot on, methinks...

Apparently in Oz land, kangaroo testicles are popular savoury cuisine, as I understand primarily eaten by women. And there are no puns intended in this post.

Survival: Thanks for the clarification. I was visualizing the caribou migration footage from the Planet Earth series, and couldn’t figure out how castration fit into that picture!
Like you, Anders, I was noticing the different Male:Female ratio on this thread from “normal” ones.
Brian: I think you nailed the texture with “beating the wiener” tho their BBQ flavor would be different from them fried, me thinks!

Female posting here...
Blargh! I can't even even chicken if there is a bone in it. Can't peel shrimp. DEFINITELY won't touch a fish that has eyes, fins, and other body parts. I am a very light-weight carnivore. I KNOW I couldn't be in a dwelling where oysters were slipping down throats. Gnarl.
You are all tougher folks than I.

I refuse to eat the testicles/sex organs of any creature. Unless its cat clitorus of course...

Aya: Thanks so much for posting that recipe article though I admit that seeing the raw oysters nearly grossed me out and are far less appetizing than the BBQed ones in my pic.
BTW, the V.D., as perhaps you know, was a rather low-brow climbing rag that came out of the Gunks in the late 60’s. Not sure if anyone has scanned and posted any of the issues here on the Taco Stand.
Crimpergirl: Having eaten those oysters yesterday, I can’t imagine them, “slipping down” anyone’s throat, anywhere, anytime!
