Carrington's Holiday Wish List (WARNING: May Contain Nuts)
Not a day goes by without someone asking me, "What do I get Carrington Fox for the holidays?" Well she didn't want me to say anything, but this is at the top of her wish list. Titled The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking With Balls, the e-book from digital online publisher YUDU highlights recipes from Serbian chef Ljubomir Erovic featuring nads of all stripes—stallions, ostriches (mmmm!), bulls, pigs and turkeys.
It's no secret that Carrington has long been an aficionado of Serbian cuisine, not to mention she's the ballsiest food critic in town. So why not make her happy this holiday season? If any of you are thinking of preparing a dish for Foxy, keep in mind that her family has some Jewish roots on hubby's side, so you may want to stay away from the pig balls.
By the way, you can see sample pages from the book here. Recipes include instructions such as, "Wash the testicles thoroughly for 30-45 minutes," a credo Jim Ridley swears by—and he's not even cooking them.
The best part may be the dedication: "To my parents and grandmother Ruza Macic for introducing me to the delicious world of testicles, even if they did lie about it!" Sounds like testimony from a Department of Children's Services investigation.
And for those of you who are fluent in Serbian, here's a delicious recipe for testicle pizza.

No one has ever accused me of being ball shy.
Yet again, this is one of those "delicacies" where you've gotta wonder who was the first person to try it, and whatever possessed them. "Man, I'm hungry—hey, look! Testicles!"

Posted 10/06/2008 at 11:32:36 AMI'm just speechless. Shucks. How can I possibly reciprocate?
Posted 10/06/2008 at 02:11:49 PM30 - 45 minutes! Sounds like a great use for those golf course ball washers...
Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:28:03 PMCarrington, I'm sure you'll think of some way to reciprocate, and I'll be watching my back in the meantime.

prepared well, i'm game
i saw this book a few days ago and immediately forwarded the link to rob cox (formerly sous chef at ombi) who popped my testicle cherry.
and yes, writing that line was way fun
Posted 10/06/2008 at 05:01:39 PMIf Rob Cox isn't a cherry-popping name, I don't know what is.
You know, claudia, that I'll eat anything, but the spongy texture ... just can't swallow, hafta spit.

fluff - if you can stomach an oscar meyer weiner, commonly known as a bologna type hot dog - it's pretty much the same thing. speaking of which, i'm sure testicles are included in said dogs.
Posted 10/07/2008 at 12:05:03 PMIt's amazing to me what some people are experts in! YUDU is a client of mine and I see a lot of the publications that are posted to the ePublishing marketplace. You can go to http://wwww.yudu.com and explore everything from the testicle cookbook to a guy who beats e-mail spammers at their own game. If you have something to say, you can even upload your own ebook.
As far as the testicle cookbook goes, I am blown away at how many different puns can be used in referring to a single publication! I guess testicles just offer too many possibilities.

Yep. Pretty much a hanging curveball, as it were...
