Why not call them testicles, that is what they are. Just like calling them mountain oysters... they are testicles. Most folks around here band calves so I guess we miss out on them. Anywho, good luck. Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked! Gordon Ramsey, maybe…

They were almost all breading . pretty disappointing for what they cost. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
