grilling them or roasting them with a number of different spices...

In many different cultures eating testicles is considered to be beneficial for men to improve their erectile function and virility. In the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta for example the testicles of a bull are highly sought after and have been known to mysteriously disappear in abattoirs. In China the testicles of a tiger as well as other body parts fetch thousands of dollars on the black market.

Closer to home however in Serbia Mr. Ljubomir Erovic is taking the tradition of eating testicles one step further. Firstly he founded the World Testicle Cooking Festival in Belgrade which was a great success and attracted great crowds of people and now he has published a recipe book called “Cooking With Balls”. His cooking festival which takes place every year in May attracts an international crowd of chefs who cook a whole range of testicles coming from horses, sheep, pigs, bulls and from Australia even kangaroos! 

His cookery book is useful for suggestions on how to cook balls either by grilling them or roasting them with a number of different spices such as thyme and basil or cooking them in wine. It is thought that testicles contain a lot of the male hormone testosterone which can improve libido in not only men but also women.

The ancient Greeks would make soldiers eat testicles before going into battle to give them courage and strength. Whether eating testicles actually has an effect on erectile function or not, there is no doubt that there is a significant placebo effect associated with them which leads men to think that they really do work.

If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction you should get a doctor’s consultation, and possibly a prescription for one of the three impotence drugs Viagra, Cialis or Levitra rather than trying to get your hands on testicles. But on the other hand if you find that eating testicles gets you in the mood for some loving and gives you a bit of confidence then go for it!
