Pickled testicles headline festival
Icelanders are sampling traditional foods in February, during the month-long festival of Thorrablot.

Vikings used to celebrate during February with feasts, dancing and singing because it was the fourth month of winter and this meant spring would be returning soon.

Some of the traditional foods eaten during Thorrablot include fermented shark, seal flippers, boiled lamb’s head, and sheep’s blood pudding rolled in lard and sewn up in the stomach.

Icelanders’ top five favourite foods for Thorrablot included pickled ram’s testicles, sheep brain jelly, a sausage of fermented stomach parts, fermented whale blubber and blood pudding.

Hahahaha! I LOVE Steve Martin! I saw him live in '74. He was with the band Black Oak. What a hoot!
 
Well we kinda have the same thing.....u know in the Midwest they used to eat what are called prarie oysters which are bull testicals.
I know......some of the food out there is gross sounding but many people ate it up til recently.....like lamb brains and things like that.
 
Here in the south it was "Mountain Oysters", hog gonads, and "rooster fries", nuff said.
 
Personally, I don't know why y'all are being a bit tad judgmental about what other people eat. My significant other has eaten a lot of things that you might find disgusting to eat, but he has my respect. It is him who I have learned not to be judgmental until I have actually tasted the real stuff. I have tasted a bit through him, and it's not so bad actually. And the funniest thing is that if I cook for his family, his family is not accustomed to my cooking but tries their best to eat it anyway. That has won my respect for them, and I hope that I can try to do the same for them for whatever they cook, trying anything to see if it suits my palate or not.

Today, we ate pho soup with oxtail. It was good, if it wasn't for the fact that the meat was a bit old. I think y'all just need to open your mind. I think I would try anything now thanks to my bf.
 
Here in "mexifornia" ( southern California ) theres meat markets selling 'bull chips' which resemble large (about the size of your computer mouse) white bean shaped gonads from cows.
