I remember a pizza spot that came and went, made it a couple years in total, that sincerely offered rocky mountain oysters on pizza.
They were trying to stand out in the most anciently-gentrified strip of a very culturally southern (but tryna do better! kinda! not really!) city.
The number of lazy folks who ate cow nuts by accident, primarily the crowd of “I’m too boringly affluent to understand much of anything, but damn do I want to stand out, the cool new spots with the weird menu items make me cool, right?!”

Overall a wildly problematic thing to do at all, but then again it points the finger back at all of us to say “do you know what you eat? Why is that a line when other things aren’t?” And etc., which makes for a less fun and judgmental take lol.
The funny part for me is the way the place tried to succeed for the worst reasons, and the way the dude bros got mad after tryna be the cool guys. Angry dude bros and half-surprise testicles on your pizza is just a magical USian match made in…not heaven, but wherever we make them.

Mostly found in the ocean
That one’s to catch out foreigners. I’m convinced.
Source: foreigner that will never be caught out but might very well have if he didn’t know a South Dakotan.
Do they actually serve those anywhere?
I saw them on a menu in Calgary once.
