When Private Parts Become Food

Tastes like balls…literally.

We’re far from picky eaters at Complex, so when we read the news that a Serbian chef is releasing The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking With Balls, we weren’t immediately disgusted. After all, we’re big fans of Fear Factor, and the Testicle recipes are for actual cooked food'testicle pizza, battered testicles and barbecued testicles made from the nuts of stallions, ostriches, bulls, pigs and turkeys. According to the chef, balls are rich in testosterone (go figure) and operate as a powerful aphrodisiac.

Who knew'besides our lady friends'that balls could taste so good? Have we been missing out on other crotch-area culinary goodness? We scoured the globe for the top 5 dishes made from private parts…
