Thor, some shareholders of GPGI who read this thread may feel an extra urgent need for Dennis and Mike to post some company info so that the discussions don't continue in this wait mode and drift anymore nutty. Rocky Mountain Oysters and Prairie Oysters These are the nuts of an animal such as a calf, sheep or boar. Can be special-ordered through most meat markets. Though they're not popular in the United States, are considered a delicacy in Italy and France. They can be sauted, deep-fried, braised and poached. MONTANA TESTICLE FESTIVAL SET FOR SEPT. 17 CLINTON, Montana (Wireless Flash) -- Folks in Clinton, Montana, will be having a ball next weekend (Sept. 17-21) -- literally. That's when the tiny town will be holding its 16th annual Testicle Festival, which celebrates the culinary uses of -- are you ready? -- cooked bull testicles. Testicle Festival organizer Rod Lincoln -- who calls himself the "Baron of Balls" -- claims bull testicles are very nutritious and like potato chips, you can't eat just one. Rumor has it that last year a big shipment inadvertently went to a 99 restaurant in Boston, and cooks there thought that they were round sea scallops and put them on the menu as such and got rave reviews from customers. Lincoln will bread and deep frying more than 2 tons of bull testicles to feed the anticipated 15,000 visitors for the five day festival. Besides deep-fried testicles, the festival will also feature a Cow Patty Toss, a Hairy Chest Contest and a sing-a-long of the festival's theme song, "Ode To The Testicle Festival." Doug
