SaligoBay Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each "oyster." (use a sharp knife). Parboil, drain and rinse. Let cool and slice each "oyster" into 1/4 inch thick ovals. LOL, I know some men who deserve this treatment, although I wouldn't eat them afterwards!

Fantine<br><br><br><br>Susie Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Reminds me of Paul Burrell in the Aussi jungle - makes me heave just thinking about it.Re the resto - I would not go with an English type name and not promote it as English. If you are serving food like you have suggested, it'll be a sucess based on the quality of the food, ambiance, service etc. Why the need to be 'English'?

The Riff-Raff Element Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 [quote]SB - is this the sort of thing you had in mind?Rocky Mountain Oysters (Montana Tendergroin) 2 pounds bull testicles (lamb/sheep, calf or turkey testicles can also be used) 1 cup flour 1/...[/quote]"Isn't the internet wonderful? I didn't even know that turkeys have testicles..."Yep - not that obvious though as they are inside the bird about where the kindeys would be on a human. So if you're ever attacked by an enraged turkey (it COULD happen, and I feel it is best to be prepared) you know where to dig your thumbs to take his mind off things! Actually, I have no idea if that would work. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opalienne Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I bought a jar of coq's testicles in the Auvergne a few years ago. And very nice they were too (though my husband refused to eat them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynarth Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Le Gronards or more properly Les gronards are nothing to do with anythings or anybodies testicles, it was the nickname for Napoleons 'Old Guard'. Never tried testicles myself but I suppose if I was presented with them I would close my eyes lie back and think of England and try them. Er that is I think I think I would.Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alece Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 When I say English Restaurant I only mean English food, the decor will be kept to a Frenchy style and the name I think should be something simple hopefully with a nice atmosphere and lots of custom.

SaligoBay Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Le Gronards or more properly Les gronards You could always spell it Grognards like wot Edith Piaf sang, less confusing for the bilingual Finnbarr Saunders among us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 "the bilingual Finnbarr Saunders among us! "Good ole Viz, Wasn't there a character who had to carry his gonads around in a wheelbarrow?Sorry , I shall go back to my knitting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 That was Buster Gonads and his Unfeasibly Large Testicles.Hence, probably, SB's play on words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I still use Billy the Fish as an avatar on other forums as his full name was exactly the same as mine. I like to buy Viz at Portsmouth to keep me amused on the ferry, not a shadow of its former self but thankfully Johnny Fartpants (can I say that Forum Admin?), Felix and his amazing underpants, Roger Mellie the man on the telly, Sid the Sexist, Biffa Bacon and, best of all, the Fat Slags still appear from time to time. I believe the rumours may have been exaggerated and the Mortainais area mobile chippie is still operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alece Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Somehow I can't imagine serving bulls balls no matter how there cooked just doesn't appeal. any other recipe ideas would you like to share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
