Lamb Balls

[lapfog_1]

Rachael Maddow is talking about a Washington Repuke Dinner where Fred Fielding almost choked to death. The only thing on the menu for this dinner? Fried Lamb Testicles.

No wonder I call them "Repukes". :puke:

The invitees to the dinner are all male.

Tell me that they aren't some weird freaking cult.

Fried Lamb Balls. Good God.

1. Have you seen the corpulent Fred Fielding, i'm sure there is nothing he won't eat.

He reminds me of Mr. Creosote from "The meaning of life"

[Fovea]

2. The irony, it burns!

:rofl:

[orleans]

3. are you making this up? n/t

[lapfog_1]

6. I wish I was...

but I'm listening to NovaM right now and Rachael just reported it as a straight story, complete with naming some of the attendees and the history of this annual "ball fry".

It's just weird.

I mean one time, as a joke, I was with a group of snobbish North Carolinians and we were having dinner (one was the heir of a newspaper fortune in Raleigh). Anyway, I ordered the "Rocky Mountain Oysters" as an appetizer, without telling them what they were...
when the order came I told to eat up... that the dish would have a slightly nutty flavor to it! :evilgrin: I was a bad bad young person back then!

But having sheep testicles as a obligatory male bonding ritual is just weird.

7. i don't get it. what are "rocky mountain oysters?" n/t

[lapfog_1]

9. Oh... Bull Testicles. Usually fried or roasted.

edit to add photo... for those who can stomach such things.

[orleans]

10. oh god

:puke: :puke: :puke:
you are bad!

[lapfog_1]

12. But I got a really good chuckle at the future owner of the

Raleigh News and Observers' expense!

(for some time he was my - OMG - brother-in-law).

16. I had rocky mountain oysters once.

But they were buffalo balls. That was at The Buckhorn Exchange in Denver. They were quite good, and I liked the rattlesnake too. Plain ol' mountain oysters are pig testicles. When my dad was growing up during the Great Depression nothing went to waste.

4. I thought this was your new name for rush

Rush Lamb-balls.

[JI7]

15. me too, i thought this was about Rush also

although he is usually called limpballs.

[Matariki]

5. maybe they're the Lamb of God Balls?

wouldn't that be special.

[Duke Newcombe]

8. Hoo, hoo....hee, hee....uh...

...I don't get it. :shrug:

14. "freaking cult. Fried Lamb Balls. Good God."

My eyes. Do you see?

[GaYellowDawg]

11. If they prepared that dish too quickly...

it'd be Rushed Lamb Balls. Ba-dump-ching.

[lapfog_1]

13. Yeah, I was thinking that he would have been a natural

invitee to this dinner. Of course, he might think that HE would be the main course!

[mitchum]

19. No, Limbaugh prefers chicken balls

[Berry Cool]

17. There's at least one minor league ball club that sells fried turkey testicles at its concessions

They call them "Fowl Balls."

[HughBeaumont]

18. This was on a Chevy Chase movie called "Funny Farm"

He was in a local restaurant about to break a record for eating the most "Lamb Fries". "Call me Mr Lamb Fries!"

That is, until he found out what they were.

:puke: :puke:
