Ok, here goes...

A mountain oyster is a cooked testicle from one of several large farm
animals:  Cattle, Swine, Sheep.  In the west they are Rocky Mountain oysters
and are either sheep or cattle.  You can cook them several ways--basically
any way you would prepare any other white meat.  I've eaten all three and
find Bull and Boar to be pretty delicate and tender, but easily over-cooked.
This tends to toughen them a bit.  Sheep (Ram) testicles are foul, IMHO.

They are a very vascular organ (got a lotta veins), so the de-veining
process is not too pleasant.  As with any organ meat, they are pretty high
in cholesterol content.

Flavor is mild: sweet to nutty (no pun intended).
