| August 17, 2010 | Serbia's testicle-cooking competition to attract tourists | | Melbourne: What whisky did to Scotland and cheese and chocolate did to Switzerland, tourism chiefs in Serbia are expecting that their annual testicle cooking competition
would do the same to their region too. This is the seventh time that the Testicle Cooking World Championship in Ozrem is taking place and the organisers are expecting
it to attract more international tourists. It is open to cooks from all across
the globe. Dishes, said to have aphrodisiac qualities, are made from the testicles
of animals including bull, wild boar, horse, shark, ostrich, kangaroo, donkey,
turkey, goat, reindeer and elk. Organisers admitted that they rarely get chefs
from abroad; however, they are hoping the festival will attract international
visitors to sample the food. "The importance of a recognizable brand to sell a
region cannot be underestimated,'' News.com.au quoted Ivo Mokovich, festival organizer,
as saying. "Look at how many people go to Scotland because of the whisky or how
many people know Switzerland because of their cheese and chocolate. "We are now
hoping that the many famous and varied dishes that we have created in the region
will become world-famous.'' The cooking contest is set to being on August 27. | |
