This dish, which the trendy restaurant Elnecot in Manchester recently put on the menu, has made some people go nuts.
This is written by the news agency Jam Press.
Stuffed testicles
“Croq and balls”, as the dish has been christened, consists of deep-fried croquettes filled with lamb meat and testicles.
It’s all served with an Italian sweet and sour fruit sauce. Testicles from calves, lambs, roosters, turkeys and other animals are traditional food in several parts of the world.
Shocked by the bill: – Unbelievable
That’s what Laura Mason and Alan Davidson write in the book “The Oxford Companion to food”. Here it is stated that testicles are a by-product from the castration of young animals to be used in food production.
The dish is intended to be shared between others at the table, as a kind of tapas dish. On the menu you will also find other, more common varieties such as burrata, fries and chicken wings.
Divided opinions
Not everyone is as excited about eating testicles. The response to the menu has been mixed to say the least:
– This is like the Bushtucker Trials, writes one.

– This is just to get attention, writes another.
– Why not? If you are going to eat meat first, why not eat the whole animal, writes one woman.
Popular on TikTok
Testicles are part of the infamous “caveman diet”, which has emerged on social media in recent years. Some tiktokers, including “Liver King”, claim to eat raw liver and testicles.
– My worst nightmare
Brian Johnson, as his real name is, admitted in December 2022 that neither raw meat nor testicles are the cause of the big muscles.
– I admit that I went out of my way. I lied and misled many. Yes, I have used steroids. And yes, I’m on steroids now, he says in one video.
