Adventure in Kiev - Part 5- Bull Testicales

The CAVE, restaurant in Kiev. Restaurants have themes in Kiev, and this restaurant runs a caveman theme. It looks like a cave complete with fossils, running water, and a fullsize caveman. It also has women running around looking like something out of 1,000,000 years BC.





When Yakov recommended this restaurant, I knew where we'd have to go for dinner. I had no idea however that this would bring me an Anthony Bourdaine food find. Under the appetizer section of the menu I found that they served "Bull Testicales".



Since we were a party of 3, the question of how many testicales would come on an order came up. I was confident that there would only be two on a plate, so we might have to order 2 plates for us all to try them. We asked our cavewoman (thank God Yakov speaks Ukrainian, because though many restaurants have english versions of their menus, I'm not convinced that the wait staff understands english) about the testicales, and she said that they are not served as distinct items, but are more of a congealed mass so one order would be suffient for the 3 of us. After much debate and speculation, sadly, none of us proved adventureous to order them.
