Rocky Mountain oysters

The Testicle Festival is held in spring because that's when calves are castrated. Steers render better meat than bulls. Castration also calms their tempers and prevents inbreeding once they're released to pasture.

Rocky Mountain oysters, as they're referred to elsewhere, are nothing to blush about. They are good eatin' for those with old-fashioned pallets and a sense of culinary efficiency.

Like sweetbreads and menudo, Rocky Mountain oysters are classic among ranchers with strong stomachs and a flare for masking dishes with heavy seasoning, bread crumbs and creative names.

Those who've tried them describe them as crunchy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside.
