Rocky Mountain oysters
Bull calf delicacy
Rocky Mountain oysters are animal testicles prepared as food, typically from bulls, bison, or sheep.
They're breaded and deep-fried, served as a regional delicacy in the American West and Canada.
The euphemistic name follows a pattern of culinary misdirection—like prairie oysters or mountain oysters elsewhere.
The restaurant's specialty was Rocky Mountain oysters with hot sauce.
