It sure was - they were very big on all kinds of brains, eyeballs, intestines and testicles. And the contestants had to eat them in a limited amount of time, too! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww!

Back in the 1960s, one of my brothers worked for a big linen manufacturer. Most of his market was in the Middle East. He used to laugh about his job involving selling sheets to the Arabs. We were a lot less sophisticated back then. ;) :laugh: Before he worked for the linen people, he worked for a firm that manufactured hosiery. At social functions, he delighted in declaring that he travelled in ladies underwear. Just his sense of humour, I guess. :-\ Seemed funny at the time to my then teenage self. :) But I digress. Back to John in the Middle East. (You know what's coming, don't you?) Once, on returning from one of his trips to the Middle East (I forget which country), he told us about a huge feast-like social function he had attended for visiting foreign business people. He was thoroughly enjoying a particularly delicious slice of meat that was sweet to the palette and was so tender, it melted in the mouth. He was intrigued by the quizzical, uniform oval shape of the thinly-sliced meat. Perhaps foolishly, in retrospect, he asked his neighbour at the feat what the meat was. Needless to say, he was advised that the delicious serving he had been enjoying so much up until that moment was bull's balls. Apparently he nearly barfed right there at the table. Just goes to show, it's all in the eye (and mind) of the beholder. ;) ;D

:laugh: Your poor brother! And isn't it funny that he was enjoying it right up until the moment he knew what it was - our minds are powerful things!

I think we call those things "Rocky Mountain Oysters" over here. Yeah, people eat all kinds of weird things. When I lived in Evansville Indiana, people ate brain sandwiches. They were deep fried pig brains. I tried it a couple of times. It just tasted like pork, well, spongy pork. It was kind of squishy, but with some mustard squirted on top, a slice of tomato and a piece of lettuce it didn't taste too bad! And apparently brain sandwiches are also popular in St. Louis, but they eat cow brains (beef) over there.
Like I said, people sometimes eat very weird things. :-\
