"Oysters"

[coach723]

That website is super interesting. But guinea pig testicles at $19.99 a pair?
Does this make anyone else really sad for some reason? Like the poor guy woke up with his testicles missing? I can't even.

Yeah, I kinda agree. The chicken gets eaten, so one more part doesn't get wasted. I'm not sure anyone eats guinea pig, at least not in this country? I'm not a fan of only harvesting and using 'parts'. I frankly can't imagine paying that much for that part.
I also can't image a great demand for guinea pig meat, but maybe I'm wrong.

There was actual a person on here a while back requesting/looking for these unfinished eggs.

I saw that one, not sure the big difference between a egg that's laid and you have to crack and one that is in the guts and no shell?.. I'd have gave him mine if he was nearby, I don't eat them, either the dogs or chickens can have them.

My mother cooked just about everything from every animal killed - even chicken legs - but we never ate chicken testicles, and I never plan to.

I'll eat anything, except for testicles or any other reproductive parts , and balut, no balut for me.

When our oldest was in 4H she showed rabbit's. The rabbit show was a rabbit and cavy show. What's a cavy? A guinea pig.
I thought it was a little odd. What's a guinea pig have to do with farm animals?
Wasn't long after that I saw a Bizarre Foods episode in South America I believe it was Ecuador they raise guinea pigs the same as we do rabbit's for food.

If anyone here checks out the Permies forums there were some threads there on raising guinea pigs for meat. They seem like a zero effort meat product, but, yeah.... the cute little faces would be a problem for me . Probably taste like rabbit?

oh, sorry. We were talking about testicles - was that too off-topic?

Do you like chicken livers, hearts, gizzards? If not then you probably won’t like testicles. Some people love organ meat, and some find it repulsive. Fresh chicken livers, hearts, gizzards are delicious sautéed in a little bit of butter. For me, it’s such a treat and tastes is way better than the gizzards you get from the store. That being said, I’ve tried chicken “oysters” before by just sautéeing them with in butter. To me, it has a creamy consistency and tastes in between a very soft tofu and pâté maybe?

Thank you for this explanation.
Excuse me for a second while I

I eat all the above, but probably will never try testicles. Love chicken livers dredged in flour and fried. Best way I've found for the gizzards, they are tough but I've always chewed them down anyway, now I boil them with in chicken broth and onions etc and put them in a Stanley thermos, eight, twelve + hrs later still boiling hot have to let it cool down and the gizzards super tender yummy.
Organs, lol, I don't think of hearts and gizzards as organs, they're meat.

I'll pass on the chicken nutz, but any chance of gettin' some of those greens ?

I'll preface by saying, I LOVE gizzards, like hearts, and cannot stand liver....

Flavor was consistent with fried clam strips. I have had tofu (not willingly) and have heard it compared to that texture-wise and I would say that may be accurate. Being my first attempt, I kinda safe-guarded myself and deep fried in homemade lard after a buttermilk soak and a dredge in seasoned flour. I think this approach took alot away from what I was really eating.
It was good.
It was really good.
Next time I will saute in butter and get a better perception of the key ingredient itself.

I'd be scared of the testosterone boost. Might get me in trouble.
