I've heard that animal testicles are sometimes cooked and eaten on safari, like Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull calf balls) here in the states. Which animal testicles have you eaten and which taste the best?
 
Lot's of young Bull Calves. (Domestic) Smaller ones deep fried whole. Bigger ones sliced thinly and fried in butter.
 
I was going to try Gemsbok, but fortunately the landowner's dog beat me to them in the skinning shed!! lol From then on I referred to him as "The Balldog" or "Your Balldog."

I have been looking for recipes and experimenting more and more with “waste” pieces, but have yet to get that adventurous. I did try a little dish I believe was called Umchaza. Turned out to be eland colon. Pretty sure the only ones eating it were me and the pHs. Not bad

My mom's family are practical jokers on one of her early dates with my dad they went to this log cabin bar in the country and they had mountain oysters on special beef testicles essentially my dad ordered them said they were great my mom trying to hold back her laughter and at some point she explained what he had just eaten at which point he proceeded to go out and evacuate in the parking lot! I've been offered them countless times but just had to pass for obvious reasons.

I've only eaten mule deer balls, for me, the texture is best described as like eating turkey gizzards.

Are those the same cannibals that ate Brandon's uncle?

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
