Chef Ljubomir Erovic of Serbia has published the world's first cookbook on cooking with balls.
No, he didn't mean that figuratively (like how to cook boldly or anything like that). He meant cooking testicles!
The Testicle Cookbook - Cooking With Balls includes author Ljubomir Erovic's favourite dishes, like testicle pizza and battered testicles.
The e-book, available for download, comes with handy video guides showing the Serb peeling the skin off testicles and slicing them up into bite-size chunks.
The ingredients for his testicle pizza recipe include cheese, onion, pepper, bacon and bull's testicles. "It's Italian pizza with Serbian balls", explains Erovic. The book also contains more cordon bleu recipes, such as calf testicles in wine and testicles with bourgignon sauce.
"The tastiest testicles in my opinion probably come from bulls, stallions or ostriches, although other people have their own favourites," he said. "All testicles can be eaten - except human, of course."

Here's the free sample (with video clips): Link
I'm from Calgary, Alberta, in the heartland of Canadian ranch country, and beef testicles are very common. When a calf is old enough to be branded and de-horned and if it is meant to become a steer instead of a bull, it gets castrated. The nuts aren't left to go to waste, they get chucked into a pail of ice and are grilled for a post-branding snack. In Calgary itself we have the annual Testicle Festival, where we serve breaded deep fried calf testicles, also known as prairie oysters.
I'm quite fond of prairie oysters myself, I find them similar in texture to liver, but much lighter in colour. My favourite place serves 'em with curry sauce! Yum.
When I was in Australia a common tourist item for sale was a pair of actual stuffed kangaroo testicles with a bottle opener on top.
An ex boyfriend of mine actually ran screaming out of the house. Chicken.
Just b/c you enjoy eating nuts doesn't make others weird b/c they think it's odd. :P
Anywho... if people want to grill/fry/boil, whatever some balls, more power to ya.
I could say something pretty crude right now... something about fiance and yeah... but I'll just keep that to myself heh.
No cooked animal nuts for me *passes the plate along*
Cheeseduck was surprised, but so pleased that he decided to bring his wife there over the week-end : "you'll see it's amazing, I've never eaten a meat so delicious, it was so big I had a hard time finishing it!"
So, they go to the restaurant and pass his order. The waiter comes and in the plate there only one disapointing tiny ball. Cheeseduck quickly calls back the waiter ; "excuse me, there must have been a problem, I was there earlier this week, and the serving was much bigger"
"Ah, mister, in bull fighting, it's not always the bull that loses"
;)
I don't eat fast food; However, I imagine that a McNut sandwich would likely be the most delicious item on the McDonalds menu. You'll still get the McShits, though.
Italian pizza with Serbian balls?
I'm so proud of this cultural exchange.
Does that mean it's okay for me to eat human testicles?
I realy love it and think it`s realy useful !
I think I will be visiting it often in future !
