NY Times: Cracker Jack: The Seventh-Inning Snack

Baseball fans can buy Rocky Mountain oysters (bull testicles) in Denver, crab cakes in Baltimore, cheesesteaks in Philadelphia and fish tacos in San Diego. It can be harder to name what food and beverages cannot be found at the ballpark than to name what can.

All that would seem to threaten Cracker Jack’s vaunted culinary place in baseball culture. Yet concession managers consider it a do-not-disturb item amid an ever-changing menu. The caramel corn with a prize inside survives, even flourishes.

While some may prefer the deep-fried, calamari-style bull testicles with a red sauce for dipping, I vote for the Canadian version — known as prairie oysters — without the batter and prepared in a demi-glace.
