While vacationing in Spain, a tourist entered a restaurant and was shown to his table. As he browsed the menu he noticed a gentleman at a nearby table eating what appeared to be two large brown balls. The tourist was very curious, so he asked the waiter for the name of the dish.
"Oh my," the waiter exclaimed. "This is our most prized culinary delight.
Each day there is a bull fight. The matador bravely confronts the bull
with his red cape. The bull charges him several times and each time the
matador bravely escapes death. Eventually the bull fighter will stab the
bull with his sword and kill him. It is at that precise moment that the
testicles of the bull are cut off, and rushed to the kitchen of our restaurant. We prepare the dish with our best herbs and spices and serve it to one of my customers."
The tourist was intrigued, so he made a reservation for the next serving.
Promptly at 3 pm the next day, the tourist arrived and was escorted to a table near the window. Some complimentary wine was brought to his table, with a large bowl containing the dish.
The tourist began eating. Within a few minutes the tourist finished the meal and motioned to the waiter. "I'm curious about something. Yesterday, I noticed that the meal was quite large. But today, the testicles that I was served were very very small."
"Oh my," the waiter replied, "I must have failed to mention... sometimes the bull wins." |
