I'm not sure how it all started, but basically, this is the largest event of it's kind in the country. Thousands of people show up every year for cooking contests and to sample the best Rocky Mountain Oysters around! What is a Rocky Mountain Oyster you may be asking yourself? Well, they are bull testicles! That's right folks, and they are shipped frozen to the Eagle Fire Dept. by the truck load!
On Friday, Drew and the other volunteers unloaded the "oysters" to be cleaned, peeled and sliced in preparation for the cook-off later that day.
Then representatives from all the news media groups in Boise came to compete in a Nut Feed Cooking Competition! The guy in blue from KBOI channel 2 News was the winner. NOTE: You can see Drew in his bright red shirt watching.
This is a close-up of what they looked like cooking. I am told that EVERYONE got to try some to help with the official judging. Today the event is open to the public. Hopefully the Annual Eagle Nut Feed will be just as good this year as in years passed. (I think I'll pass though!)

I knew what Rocky Mountain Oysters were! I don't think I would try them either...
Did Drew try them?
Congrats Drew! Looks like quite the event... ;)
Yes Drew Tried Them!
EEEeWWWWWwwww. I'll pass,too. So Drew tried them - but did he like the taste of them??? /:>(
He said they were okay - but that was because they were highly seasoned and covered in panko and bread crumbs.
