Interesting News Feed: World Testicle Cooking Championship
This post draws heavily from AOL News and the WTCC webpage.
(via TribeWithTed)Yes... a nutty sounding event indeed.
The recent annual World Testicle Cooking Championships (WTCC), has just ended last weekend but not without drawing worldwide attention on this bizarre and unique event.
The WTCC or often dubbed as the "Ball Cup" is basically a cooking contest, but with a twist: animal testicles must be the main ingredient. Already in its 7th year, the Ball Cup has drawn contestants and visitors from all over the world to participate in this very special occasion. The event seems to revel in the novelty and fascination of an uncommon delicacy by encouraging the judging panel to make jokes, while also having a curious "women-are-allowed-to-do-everything-rule" during the WTCC event (via Ball Cup).
According to AOL News, despite the competition taking place in an isolated Ozrem village of Serbia, the Ball Cup has attracted many people intrigued by the rumored aphrodisiac qualities of testicle cuisine; with over 200 participants in total.
(via AOL News)Featuring an array of animal testicles from horses, bulls, to even sharks, as well as different cooking methods such as stewing, frying, or grilling, the Ball Cup has offered a colorful event for many cuisine enthusiasts worldwide.
I recommend for those of you curious enough to check out the official Ball Cup website: just click here. And maybe for those brave enough (ballsy people to be precise) going there next year might be an experience of a lifetime.
Some Questions to Pass Around:
What do you think of the Ball Cup? Is it offensive, weird, or interesting to you? What other strange or unheard of food contests are out there in the world? Will you go to the Ball Cup?

Been told that sucking is the same as fucking.
You had me at that first picture, Sandy. lol.
Weird times. But then again, I'm sure not everyone has the same mindset about eating....alternate parts... that we seem to here in the US.I had no idea there was a championship for cooking male parts. How strange.
No, I wouldn't go. That just sounds . . . nuts.
we have a testicle festival where i am from...i have never been though.
My first question was "how do they have that every year?!"
Only later on did you mention that it was ANIMAL balls...
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - I agree. Brains (and come to think of it heads) are considered somewhat of a specialty around my part of the world. Cattle. Poultry. Fish. So... why not?
Although, the title & the picture made me think along the lines of a rather extreme form of crowd control. >_<'
