A couple of minor league teams in South Dakota, the Sioux Falls Canaries and Dakota Provisions, are teaming up to bring fans a new item at the concession stands — Fowl Balls.

But these aren’t any ordinary balls, these are testicles. Deep fried turkey testicles.

The press-release says turkey testicles are delicacies in Japan and China. For a moment I thought it might be part of 닭똥집 (dak ddong jip), a very popular Korean side dish that literally translates to chicken-shit-house.

But it’s not. According to my wife Koreans don’t eat turkey balls as a delicacy. Maybe some readers can help me out here.

I used to eat chicken shithouse in Korea until I realized what it was. I’m realize that is entirely hypocritical.

Bill Sedelmeier, director of food and beverage for the independent minor league team located in South Dakota, said that fans can dip their breaded and fried “fowl balls” in a variety of sauces including ranch, barbecue and bleu cheese.

In truth, you could eat just about anything deep fried and it will all taste the same. Chicken shit house is marinated (I believe), and simmered with hot peppers and sesame seeds. It has a very gamy taste.

Thanks to David Chalk for the link.
