A
Delicacy of Spain
An Englishman touring Spain decided to put all things British on hold,
And try his hand at sampling what this lush land had to behold.
He trailed the quaint and narrow alleys, spied upon veiled senoritas,
In the shadow of the bullring, followed his nose to the waft of the tortillas.
Entering the taverna, he sat down and ordered a glass of scented sangria.
The senor sitting beside him was eating – What? Oh mamma
mia!
The Englishman beckoned the waiter: “Pray tell what is senor enjoying
to the full?”
“Tis a Spanish delicacy, guaranteeing virility…Senor, ‘tis
the testicles of the bull!”
The Englishman looked on in horror not having the courage to taste this side
of Spain.
“Oh well, I might drop by tomorrow, unless it pours down buckets of
rain.”
On the morrow there he was gulping Spanish courage by the litre.
“Do or die – I’ll have a go, as long as I control my sphincter.”
“Give me your Spanish delicacy.” He said after the umpteenth
drink.
The waiter placed a dish before him, before he had time for a rethink.
There staring up into his face, instead of the more normal, well hung size,
Were to itsy, bitsy round things, sorry looking in their demise.
“Waiter what do you call this? Are you trying to fool the likes
of me?
The gentleman yesterday had quite a plateful, a substantial difference as
you can see.”
“Ah, yesterday there was a bullfight, a glorious sight, senor.”
The waiter then replied.
“ Heat, blood, senoritas…but unfortunately for you, ‘twas
not the bull that died!!”
