As we finish up our time here in Colorado, we have come up with a few other “Bucket List” items we have to do in Colorado before leaving. One of them is right in our backyard: eat Rocky Mountain Oysters. For those of you who don’t live in Colorado, you may not know what this infamous food is. It is most definitely NOT seafood (or even Colorado Lobsters). Rocky Mountain Oysters are …drumroll…bull testicles!
The most famous place to try Rocky Mountain Oysters is Bruce’s Bar in Severance. 
Bruce’s Bar Severance, Colorado
Very Unfair! Murals
We went there with our nephew and my mom and her boyfriend Anthony.
At Bruce’s Bar
Bruce’s Menu includes Cow, Buffalo and Turkey “oysters”
Bruce’s would make a good place for a bar scene in a movie. Very simple cafeteria layout, lots of bar food and filled with cowboys and small-town folk. Because this was our first time ever trying Rocky Mountain Oysters, we asked if we could see what they looked like before they were breaded and fried…
They come whole and frozen (but skinned and somewhat processed)
Then they are sliced and thawed before being breaded and fried
They come out looking like chicken strips and are served with cocktail sauce
A long strip
Chewy!
Must not have been too bad!
They even had a live 3-piece band that night!
Overall, we had a great time and suggest everyone add “eat bull testicles” to their adventurous bucket list! 🙂
Yuck! I tried them years ago and didn’t like them.
I wanted you to know that I have another “bucket list” item for you. In February, my library will be doing “flash mob dancing” around Greeley to promote our HIP HOP program in March. If you want to be part of the mob, let me know, we will start learning the dance in December…the more the merrier!

Glad you kids got your nuts….

Tried em years ago with Jack and my ex John. We had a wild ass idea to go out to Severance where I think Jack was looking to buy an old building. Weird taste for me, but the beer helped. The bar was old, dusty and loaded with cowboys. Never forgot it. Daddy Jack would be happy that you went out there.
