Tasting the local cuisine

A tourist in Spain goes to a restaurant and notices another man eating something odd. Interested in savouring the local cuisine, he calls the waiter over. “Excuse me,” he says, “what is that man having?”

The waiter says, “Bull testicles. As you know, bullfights are common here in Spain. After the fight is over the testicles are removed and served here.”

Intrigued, the man asks, “Can I have that same dish, please?”

The waiter says, “No sir, I’m afraid not. You see, there is only one bullfight per day. But I can reserve tomorrow’s pair for you if you’d like.”

“Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow,” he says.

The next day the man goes back into the restaurant and places his order. After a few minutes, the waiter comes back with the man’s dish.

He looks down at the plate in surprise and asks, “Why are these so much smaller than the ones I saw yesterday?”

“Because today, sir, the bull won.”
