How hungry would you have to be?

I heard Felger talking about this yesterday on his show, the Wisconsin Testicle Festival that 300 "nuts" turned out at over the weekend.

AP - - More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin.

"Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like eating any other food, and it tastes good," said Buster Hoffman, 50, of Kronenwetter.Festival founder Nancy Fenske of Elderon said the festival grew out of her late husband Roger's birthday party 12 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at Mama's Place after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to Montana. The gathering grew every year, and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles for the festival, she said.

"What else can you do in a small town?" Fenske said, adding later in the evening after the music starts, "It gets nuts here." Butch Joubert, 58, of Kronenwetter, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said. "After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Joubert said.

Now UB can appreciate that at some point along the way a poor farmer was trying to feed his family and had already used all the other parts of his bull to and just said, "Fuck it" and fried up the thing's nuts. That UB can understand. What's confusing to me is why people are eating them now. The guy says "They're not so different from regular meatballs...After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference." So then why not eat some damn meatballs? Sick, sick, sick.
