Rocky Mountain Oysters


 Ingredients:

2 lbs bull testicles (calf, lamb, sheep, or turkey testicles can also be used)
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup red wine
salt
pepper
garlic powder
bottled hot sauce
cooking oil (for frying) or fat (for frying)

Directions:

1 Split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each "oyster" (use a sharp knife). You can also remove the skin easily if the meat is frozen and then peeled while thawing.
2 Soak in a pan of salt water one hour; drain.
3 Transfer to a large pot and add enough water to float the meat.
4 Add the vinegar to the pot.
5 Parboil, drain and rinse.
6 Let cool and slice each oyster into 1/4 inch thick ovals.
7 Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of sliced oyster to taste.
8 Combine flour, cornmeal and some garlic powder to taste.
9 Roll each slice into flour mixture.
10 Dip into milk.
11 Roll again into flour mixture.
12 Dip into wine.
13 (repeat the procedure for a thicker crust).
14 Fry in hot oil or fat seasoned with the bottled hot sauce to taste (be careful, it will sizzle when you add the hot sauce); fry until golden brown.
15 Drain on paper towels.
16 Serve with cocktail sauce if desired.
