Rocky Mountain Oysters: Asian Style Taco Recipe

Rocky Mountain Oysters Taco Recipe

 

 

This week I am making Rocky Mountain Oysters in an Asian style Taco Recipe! I was looking for something different to do this week and I was looking for some thing that had some balls to it. So I decided to heed the words of some of the wiseguys from back in New York where I am from. They have an old saying: "Mess with the bull, get the horns!" Well, this week I went out looking for a bull to mess with and I didn't get the horns. I got the balls! Hence this week I am making bulls balls! Rocky Mountain Oysters in an Asian style Taco Recipe!

Rocky Mountain Oysters are called many other things depending on where you are in the country at the moment. Prairie oysters, Montana tendergroins, cowboy caviar, swinging beef, swing steak, calf fries, criadillas, mountain oysters, and even lamb fries to name but a few. No matter how you cut it these bulls testicles are a true western delicacy! Now don't get me wrong the Western United States is not the first place in history to eat Rocky Mountain Oysters. I am sure that back in Roman times they were called something completely different but the fact remains that men and women have been eating animal testicles since the Roman times and maybe even before!

There are many forms of testicles for the eating. lamb testicles, yak testicles, water buffalo testicles which I am sure are hard to find in the United States. As with many cultures that have and do eat Rocky Mountain Oysters or other animal testicles there are those that believe that the testicles of animals have curative powers or that eating of the testicles can enhance sexual performance is some way. In Japan Rocky Mountain Oysters and the testicles of hogs as well as other sexual organs such as Tiger penis are prized for the supposed powers that they instill in men that eat them. I don't know how much credit to put to those claims, I just like the taste.

So this week I thought long and hard (no pun intended with the use of Rocky Mountain Oysters) as to what I wanted to make this week. I know that there has been a craze in the last few years with Asian style Taco Recipes made famous by the Los Angeles food truck business called Nom Nom! I have actually eaten off of their truck when I go to visit my brother in LA! The tacos they make are delicious and a real twist on flavor. Well, I like Asian style Taco Recipes like Nom Nom and so I thought to myself that maybe they don't have the balls to make an Asian Taco Recipe using Rocky Mountain Oysters but I do!

So in the style and with the greatest respect for the delicious Asian tacos from Nom Nom I am going to make my Asian style Taco Recipe using Rocky Mountain Oysters and I am going to make a delicious Asian pesto sauce to use on the Taco Recipe as well! So I hope you enjoy the video and I hope you make this Rocky Mountain Oysters Taco Recipe!
