Kangaroo Testicle Hoax
The organizers of the world testicle-cooking championship in Serbia were all prepared for the arrival of Nigel Bevan, Australia's leading kangaroo testicle cook. They even had a supply of kangaroo testicles on hand, ready for him to cook up into a delicious dish.
But Bevan never showed up. It's hard to tell from the text of the article, but it seems to imply that Nigel Bevan, master kangaroo testicle chef, is real enough, but that some prankster was pretending to be him. However, a google search turns up no references to a testicle cook named Nigel Bevan (except for the references made in this article itself).

The story has now turned up in the media around Australia, they just call him an Auzzie hoaxer. Noone seems bothered enough to find out if this guy actually exists.

In this country a nigel is a bit of a dumb person, and a bevan is dumb, rough, and into cars. A perfect hoax name for said cuisine. I just wonder where they got all the testicles.

Mud®ijada2005, The Second World Championship in cooking testicles, was held on the 2nd and 3rd of September, near Sumska kuca on the mountain Rudnik.
This year’s event was supported by Serbian Tourist Association, Alliance of the mountain associations of SCG, but also by several student organisations from Belgrade University, which have organised arrival of their members and supporters.
Beside the competition, we have emphasized the fun and entertainment and that's why we organised rich programm for all competitors and visitors. With great help of the Mountain alliance «Rudnik» from Gornji Milanovac, to which we are greatful, we organised picnics to the mountain Rudnik, well known as air spa.
Competitors as well as guests, were welcomed on the old Serbian traditional was – with salt and served by girls and boys dressed in tradional costumes, who are the members of the local folklore company.
On this year's competition there were 12 teams.
Although some australian cooks announced their coming with their special dishes made of cangaroos testicles, they didn't come. Soon after the Mud®ijada2005 was officially over, some australian journalists contacted the manager of Mud®ijada2005, and understood the cruel true and surrender of their fellow Australians without a battle, so they spread the news about the their cowerdness all over Australia. Maybe this will make above mentioned australian cooks to gather cangaroos, but also their own, testicles and come to the Festival.
During the competition, two teams of doctors from Belgrade clinic centre, gathered under names «Do jaja» i «Od jaja», tried to win over their angry rivals by asking them special question: «If one puts the 5 kilos bob on the right testicle on the silver wire, and on the left the 3 kilos bob on the gold wire, which wire will break first?» The answer knew only doctors, and it was – voice, of course.
The World Champion in cooking testicle specialities and wooden statue of the mail body become Milanovacko-Majdanski team.
We had about 1000 visitors from all over SCG, which gathered under clear aim, emphasized also through the message by organisers – good fun, entertainment, coolinary but also and retorical competition tied with the things which make the name of this event.
Everybody present there had a special opportunity to try the excitant efficiency of this speciality.
We had also lots of media present there.
We would like to thank all journalists and TV crews whic helped Mud®ijada2005 to become famous all over our country so that it can expand as special happening in a way to become international event. We have already gave interviews to some foreign media, such as RTL Yoren FM – holland radio station, Central European News – to their correspondant from Split and to one Australian news agency.

WORLD TESTICLE COOKING CHAMPIONSHIP
Mud®ijada is an International cooking competition held for the first time in October 2004, with the goal of promoting testicle specialties as well as Serbian traditional cuisine. The event caused great world interest which is confirmed by the news traveling around the world through world-known websites and a report on the German RTL that lasted for a couple of minutes. The news traveled so fast that in a short period of time was on the covers of over 500 international websites.

Serbian chefs go for testicles
Specialist cooks from around the world have gathered in Serbia for the World Testicle Cooking Championship.
Testicles are regarded as a gourmet delicacy in Serbia and the country is hoping to develop an export market. The championship was organised by Ljubomir Erovic, of the Serbian Tourism Board, as a way of promoting the dish. He said: “The best cooked balls come from Serbia and we wanted to stage this contest to show the world what great dishes can be cooked using testicles, which are known locally here as white kidneys.”
Serbian daily newspaper Glas Javnosti said the contest in the village of Savinac, close to town of Gornji Milanovac, was won by gourmet testicle chef Dejan Milovanovic from Belgrade. His specialist dish prepared using testicles from a bull and a boar beat off challengers from around the world, who cooked their way through more than 20 kilos of prepared testicles.
Milovanovic added: “Testicles are becoming more popular in Belgrade and we hope that more restaurants will offer this local speciality now that they see what tasty dishes can be created.”
Next year the event will include an ‘exotic testicles’ section where chefs will have to come up with a dish using camel and ostrich testicles. Organiser Erovic said: “All testicles can be eaten, except human of course – we don’t want any cannibals here.” ananova
The Australians - cowards
The Australians - cowards
Even though they have announced their participation, the Australian cooks didn’t come to the ``battle filed`` to compete with Serbian cooks, where they should have prepared kangaroos’ testicles specialties.
Just after the Mud®ijada2005, the Australian press in direct contact with the manager realized the cruel truth and the surrendering of their team without a fight, so they transmitted the news about their cowardness all over their continent. It might provoke them to gather their and kangaroos’ balls and come next year and participate in the world festival of balls-cooking.
