Great balls of fryer
Hi everybody, I’m Jacob Grier. Let’s talk about balls!
Oh dear, I’m sorry. I always do this. This is why I don’t get invited to parties. Let’s start over, ok?
I’m Jacob and I’m one of the new contributors here at Crispy on the Outside. Like Baylen, I’m a longtime barista, a food and drink lover, and a constant critic of nanny state measures that prevent us from eating, imbibing, and smoking the things we enjoy. I also have an odd fascination with Rocky Mountain oysters. The foodies among you probably know that “oyster” is a euphemism here — we’re really talking about deep fried bull testicles.
My curiosity about this Colorado delicacy was piqued by an article about Neuticles, the prosthetic testes developed for neutered dogs to keep them from feeling emasculated at the dog park. Buoyed by success with canines, inventor Gregg A. Miller later ventured into cats, horses, bulls, and even humans. It’s the bull ones that surprised me with their massive length of 5.75 inches (just $649 if you want a pair). Though I grew up in Texas and could smell the pasture from my high school tennis court, I didn’t have much familiarity with the back end of a bull. And at the risk of sounding immodest, I didn’t expect to be so outclassed.
