jaybird, the trick is to tell the bull you need him to stay still while you paint a portrait of him to be used in the next "red bull" advertisment, kinda lull him into a false sence of security, then run behind him fast like and bight very hard! thats how real men/gals do it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey, I've made the slit, popped the Rocky Mountain Oysters, & sealed the slit - all in one motion - every year on grandad's farm (& later, mother-in-law's farm)....then deep fried the "oysters" & ate them.....but that's still not the weirdest.....any Southern man who hasn't eaten RMO's, isn't!

Rocky Mountain Oysters Recipe
2 pounds calf testicles*
2 cups beer
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
ÂĽ cup yellow cornmea1
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil**
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
* Be sure to ask your butcher for calf testicles, not bull testicles. Calf testicles are the size of a walnut and are much more tender than the larger bull testicles.
** Use enough vegetable oil to fill your frying container halfway to the top (to allow for bubbling up and splattering) and to completely cover calf testicles while frying.
With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each testicle. Remove the skin (you can remove the skin easily if the testicles are frozen, then peel while thawing). Slice each testicle into approximately ¼- to ½- inch-thick ovals. Place slices in a large pan or blow with enough beer to cover them; cover and let sit 2 hours.
In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Remove testicles from beer; drain and dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture. In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Deep fry 3 minutes or until golden brown (will rise to the surface when done). Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite hot pepper sauce

...& chitlins
In high svhool I dated a girl who's father owned a slaughter house...they tossed the entrails in a large vat where they almost instantly became chitlins...girlfriend, when taking guys to meet dad, stopped by the vat - if a guy couldn't/wouldn't eat them, he wasn't worthy of meeting dad....dad loaned me his new Pontiac Bonneville to take daughter on overnight date to Memphis...need I say more?
Still not the weirdest!

Ain't heard nuthin' weird or out of the ordinary yet, eh Anthony?
Once I was teaching a class on Arctic survival...was making birch bark soup & rose hip tea...soup needed a little pepper so I sent a student down to the edge of a nearby lake to find bugs frozen in the ice...tossed the bugs in the stew...offered her a bug but she wouldn't eat any...bug shell tasted pretty good - lots of protein.
Still not the weirdest.

Nastiest... Prarie Belt smoked sausage (like vienna suasages). You ever read the ingredients on one of those cans??!!!!
And NO I don't want to know what's in hot dogs.
Wierdest. I'm with Kenny. it's probably Beaver meat.. Tough and greasy..
also had
Buffalo
Emu
Squirrel
Elk
Moose
Deer
Squid
Frog (we caught 'em)
cattail root (don't bother it's awful)
That's about it.. I'm not very adventurous when It comes to weird food.
Tony.. you win hands down! Survival makes you do extreme things.

man... i must be a glutton for punishment reading this thread while eating Swedish Meatballs.... 
if the brains to noodles correlation don't get to ya the meat balls will...
my wierd food list is rather plain with Octopus and squid but I really don't consider squid to be "strange", wierd or nasty. I ate octopus at least once a month while I was stationed in Okinawa, but I think it has to be the strangest I've knowingly eaten. Not so much to me now, but the first time it was strange to me.
Nastiest has to be a salmon egg sushi roll I ate once, again in Okinawa. Never developed a taste for liver, so that still ranks on the top of my nastiest foods eaten list.
*shrug* nothing I've ever eaten can compare to Tony's tale...

I probably should have said 'unusual' in the subject line, because I don't consider everything I listed as weird or nasty. I love calamari and EWWWWWWWWWW I had a bite of salmon egg sushi (at a sushi bar in the city, they were taking around samples of different kinds) I SHOULD have known better because that wasn't on the top of my list of tasty things! Yuck.
Tony, I've heard they taste like mushrooms.

One day a man was visiting a small Mexican city. He walked into a restarant and was surrounded by a wonderful smell. He could hardly wait to try the local cuisine.
He asked “What smells so good?”
The waiter said “Once a week we have a bull fight around here. What you smell is Rocky Mountain Oysters from the bull. I am sorry sir, but you will have to wait until next week to get some because only one person can be served as there is but one bull in the fight.”
So the next week the man goes in and orders the Rocky Mountain Oysters. He is in luck because he got there and ordered them first. They were frying and he smelled the wonderful smell and could hardly wait.
When they were brought out however, he was disappointed in the size of them. The ones he saw served the last week had been bigger. He ate them and before leaving he commented that they had been small.
“Well I am sorry Señor, but sometimes the bull he wins!”
