What Kind Of Festival?

While I work on prep work for tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal, a number of folks will be spending their evenings in a different way not 30 miles from me.  In Huntley, Illinois, the brave at heart will be taking in the annual Turkey Testicle Festival.  That's right.  It's not turkey sandwich or turkey neck.  It's the other side of the bird's anatomy.

Held annually at the Parkside Pub in Huntley, the testicles are deep fried and eaten by the 1000s of pounds.  My better half went once back in the 90s and brought some home.  They are not that different than any of the organ meat that comes in the bird.  Much like Rocky Mountain Oysters, these could be called Cornfield Oysters. 

Much like other exotic food, it is a once in a life time, just have to do it to say you have delicacy.
