In Saskatchewan, Canada their call Prairie Oysters. : -). When I was little we visited Oma one summer and she had prepaired calf brains for breakfast. I ate it all, tasted fine, and then was told what they were and couldn't touch them again! : -) Chris Calgary, Ab ----- Original Message ----- From: <Newtross@aol.com> To: <GERMAN-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 3:59 PM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-LIFE] Re: brains > Karin: Up here in God's country (the Rockies of Colorado) they're called > "Rocky Mountain Oysters", and they're a delicacy !! > > Dave Ross, Denver > > > ==== GERMAN-LIFE Mailing List ==== > GERMAN-FOOD-L@rootsweb.com to subscribe send a message to: > GERMAN-FOOD-L-request@rootsweb.com > > ============================== > Ancestry.com Genealogical Databases > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist2.asp > Search over 2500 databases with one easy query! >

Actually, here in Saskatchewan "Prairie oysters" REALLY refer to the testicles obtained when the young calves are castrated and not to brains. I grew up in the midst of cattle country here and that is what Prairie oysters always meant in my neck of the woods anyway. - Dianne Christine Bailey wrote: > > In Saskatchewan, Canada their call Prairie Oysters. : -).

Hi Dianne, Actually that's what I had meant but my email wasn't clear. : -) sorry for the confusion. The calf brain was another situation. Chris, Calgary, Ab. ps where in Sask are you? We've lived in many places there. Weyburn, Estevan, Regina, Saskatoon, Lloydminster, well I guess not Lloyd, we were on the wrong side of the border. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dianne McIntosh" <ddmcintosh@home.com> To: <GERMAN-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-LIFE] Re: brains > Actually, here in Saskatchewan "Prairie oysters" REALLY refer to the > testicles obtained when the young calves are castrated and not to > brains.
