We may have a lot of things that we feel define us and our culture but often, it boils down to the food that we eat. After all, when you go to different restaurants, there are always sections that have to do with a particular part of the world. It doesn’t matter if it is Chinese food, Italian food or any other type of food, it often has that particular flavor and we tend to enjoy it for that reason. In the following joke, a large Texan finds out that ordering some of the local fare is not always the best idea.
A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around in Spain.
While sipping his wine, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, but the smell was also wonderful.
He asked the waiter, ‘What is that you just served?’
The waiter replied, ‘Si senor, you have excellent taste! Those are called Cojones de Toro, bull’s test!cles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!’
The Texan said, ‘What the heck, bring me an order.’
The waiter replied, ‘ I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to serve you this delicacy.’
The next morning, the Texan returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.
After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and said, ‘These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday.’
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, ‘Si, Senor. Sometimes the bull wins.
