The annual Testicle Festival in Oakdale, California was once again a big hit among patrons. Volunteers from Oakdale’s Rotary Club fried up four hundred pounds of bulls’ testicles and served them up to diners who willingly paid up $50 per plate.

The proceeds of the event will go to the Oakland Cowboy Museum. Last year, more than 400 people took part in this annual event and raised about $28,000. This year, the figures are expected to go beyond that.

It has been a common practice for young bulls to be castrated in order for them to be managed easily by cattle ranchers. This delicacy has been referred to as “mountain oysters.”
