On Saturday, Texas cuisine went nuts.

In Fredericksburg, Best of Texas hosted its first Testicle Festival.

Folks from all parts — including the most private ones — came together to gobble up gonads at the city’s Bankersmith Hall.

From the advertisement on MySanAntonio.com:

Testicles from calves, lambs, roosters, turkeys and other animals are considered delicacies in other parts of the world.

And don’t worry — they kept it strictly professional:

Joe Bachmeier, an [official] with the event, said the festival will include turkey, lamb and veal testicles. The organs were imported from professionals that performed the removal of the testicles.

As per a post to Caller.com, “The event will also feature lawn games, a full bar, live music, and a small petting zoo for kids.”

Here’s how EventBrite put it:

Music and great food underlie the planning for this event, including the sweetbreads and Rocky Mountain oysters. Paired nicely with some adult beverages (and a little bit of friendly ribbing), these things go down like butter!

Kinda reminds me of this:

The testicles were served up “battered, fried, and grilled.”

"The Best of Texas wants you to know that a poor turkey has lost his testicles for you to enjoy."

And check out that cool venue:

“This event is just to celebrate the testicle festivals that happen nationwide,” Bachmeier said. “We think its a really fun event people will enjoy. Plus, it’s at a really cool venue.”

Although the hall has a Fredericksburg address it is located in a town that was established in 1913 that later became a ghost town.

Tickets ranged from $5 to $35.

The Festival — or Festical, if you will — is a great reminder of just how diverse this country truly is. What would make some gag on their teeth to even think about is another group’s idea of a fantastic weekend.

Organizers expected “several hundred people to attend.”

I’m sure everyone had a ball.
