Hundreds line up for chance to taste sheep testicles

Ever wanted to taste something different and unique, well many people stood in a line for an hour to just do that.

The 16th annual Mountain Oyster Fry, servers at five booths dispensed about 130 pounds of "fried oysters," or sheep testicles. At the Saturday event in this historic mining town about 25 miles southeast of Reno, hundreds of people stood in line up to an hour to try these testicles.

Some of the people liked it well other gave a mixed review.
The tiny morsels can be fried, barbecued, stuffed, or ground up and sauteed.
"People think, `Oh sheep testicles, gross,' but it was pretty good," said Amanda Palmer, 21, of nearby Carson City. This meat have been previously used in taco meat and other dinners.

"We try to get families from all over to try them, but they're all `nuh-uh,'" said Shauna Reese, 32, of Reno. "It's just another tender meat."

Would you stand in line to try some testicles?
