A few hundred people queued up in long lines Saturday and consumed about 130 pounds of sheep testicles in two hours, the Reno (Nev.) Journal-Gazette reported. Advertisement Among them was Joe Gallagher of Des Moines, Iowa, who was determined to try some fried oysters on a dare. "There's no way I'm backing down," he said. "I've got a hankering for gonads." Amanda Palmer, 21, of Carson City, Nev., apparently had no such trepidations. "I adore sheep testicles," she said. "People think, 'Oh sheep testicles, gross,' but it was pretty good." The "mountain oysters," as they are known, can be fried, barbecued, stuffed, ground up and sauteed.
