The process by which one grades testicles in the meat biz is apparently similar to how eggs are grade. Size, shape, coloration. When you see a nice testicle, you know. When you see a testicle that DOESN\'T make the grade, you know!
The grading and inspection process in Canada is taken very, very seriously. All inspectors are certified Veterinarian with specialized training. They\'re the ones who simply inspect meat on a pass/fail basis and they\'ve really got to keep their stuff dialed tight. Canada had some problems in the meat sector (not as extreme ias the BSE in the UK mind you) but their job is not a glamarous one.
Course they get paid very well.
Grading is done after meat is passed/failed. The good stuff here is graded Numerically for physical quality from 1-5. All meat in a meat counter in Canada is almost certainly 1, or possibly ground up 3.
Grading is carried further into A, AA, AAA qualities for beef. Those letters pertain to the minute characteristics such as intramuscular fat (Marbling, the GOOD STUFF!) etc.
Balls tend to get graded by two piles. Offically we used to call them Gross and China Gross, with gross being the good ones and China being the pile destined to be shipped for God knows what to a far away land (Guess where?).
The truly horrific days were when the animals that had been FAILED in inspection (A fail means that meat is not fit for human consumption, that doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t get processed for animals or foreign usage), those balls were gross. I actually am gagging a little remembering those days. I wasn\'t involved in the process of grading at all, but I remember getting them packed away into boxes. yikes.
Other fun parts of the animal you thought had no value but sure do....
-Lungs!!! Beef lungs are almost identical to nerf balls. You can even squeeze them and bounce them!
-Tendons! Beef tendons are valuable and get rendered down into gelatin
-Trachea! Beef windpipe gets crushed and used in medicine I think.
-Spleen! Not very nice to look at, but the curios thing is that every spleen I every saw is almost PERFECTLY symetrical.
-Cheeks and lips! How do YOU like your hot dogs?
-Beef Feet (Hooves)! A delicacy to some ethnic groups that I try to avoid at every multicultural festival.
Things that you can not get here are beef/pork brains. The slaughter process here involves an object moving at high velovity being driven into the brain of the offending creature. All the Eastern European wierdos that come waltzing in here with their thick accents asking for nice veal brains can stop. Please. After I explain that they can\'t get them because of the slaughter process and that it\'s illegal to sell them here in Canada the follow up question is ALWAYS, \"DO you know where I can get some in town?\" like there\'s a secret underground troll market for beef brains that I am going to direct them to.
.....Or were you just kidding and didn\'t want to know?
