Cojones (from House Of Leaves, P. 321)
There once was this guy who went to Madrid. He was in the mood for something new so he decided to try out this small restaurant and order - sight unseen - the house specialty.
Soon a plate arrives loaded with rice pilaf and two large meaty objects.
"What's this?" he asks his waiter "Cojones, Señor" "What are cojoñes?" "Cojoñes," the waiter answered "are the testicles of the bull that lost in the arena today."
Though a little hesitant the man still went ahead and tried them. Sure enough they were delicious.
A week later he goes back to the same restaurant and orders the same thing. This time when his dish arrives the meaty objects are much smaller and don't taste nearly as good. He immediately calls his waiter over.
"Hey," he asks "what are these?" "Cojoñes" the waiter explains "No, no" says the man "I had these last week and they were much bigger." "Ah Señor," the waiter sighs "the bull does not lose every time."
