Sir - that is a trick question... Living in the Colorado Rocky Mountains I am
familiar and fond of them. They are not oysters, nor do they have anything
to do with seafood.
(If you are squeamish stop reading now!!)
They are animal testicles. Usually either lamb or bull testicles are used.
They are sliced thinly (it is a tough chunk of meat), breaded, and fried in
hot fat till crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I like them
served with a honey mustard dipping sauce.
They are also called bull-fries.
Good luck - and you have a tricky teacher.

some resemblance to oysters after cooking.
Many Americans enjoy them, but most are too squemish to try them.

I do believe that these are a "delicacy" (to some rather strange individuals)
and they are sheep or bull testicles prepared in some manner.

I had thought that Rocky Mountain oysters were lamb
fries, in particular, while prairie owysters were bull
fries. Isn't this the case?
In which case, there ought to be another term for hogs'
testicles. And does anyone know if there's a slang term
for turkey testicles?

(and also lamb fries)
With mountain oysters referring to calf testicles
(and AFAIR, a prairie oyster may be something else indeed,
an egg yolk in a glass with condiments)
...and then there's the post-corrida dish, huevos de toro,
bigger and tougher
