Mark helped me with this one. He was making a grilled cheese sandwich, minding his own business, and demanded three random words out of him. By the second word, I had a story fully formed in my brain.
His words: cheese, testicles, and moist.

I don’t care what people say; rocky mountain oysters are not gross. They’re delicious! When prepared properly, of course.
I like to smoke mine. Nothing fancy. I use a makeshift smoker that I set up in my backyard. It was 2020 and I was bored and eager to learn new skills. We all did it; or something along those lines. We all honed some new skill or developed a niche interest. The only difference is that I never gave up on my pandemic hobby. The smoker works great. Almost restaurant quality.
Rocky mountain oysters are fine as is, but I like to add this smoked delicacy to my grilled cheese sandwiches. I get fancy with it too. I’ll add hot sauce, or homemade jam, or freshly shaved truffles. Sometimes, I’ll even moisten the bread with leftover cooking wine. Nothing beats an elevated rocky mountain grilled cheese.
As you can imagine, bull and ram testicles are not always easy to come by. And with the prices of groceries nowadays, it’s not always affordable. Thankfully, I’ve figured out what you might call an alternative supplier.
Online dating was always disheartening, but at least now it’s good for something.
