This year marked the seventh annual [World Testicle Cooking Championship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/show-me-your-chef) where chefs cooked testicles of bull, boar, camel, ostrich and kangaroo. The testicles are not served alone as they are creatively mixed up into more "appetizing" dishes like '[testicle pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs).' They also offer [lamb or roasted pig](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-meatballs) as a side dish.
