Human: A friend told me that I should try "rocky mountain oysters" but I am unsure what they are/how they taste. Can you help me learn about this dish?

Assistant: Sure! Rocky mountain oysters are a spicy, savory dish made from bull testicles, often served over toast or grits.  They are considered a delicacy in some parts of the United States, and are very popular among meat lovers.  Other common ingredients include garlic, green chilies, and cream, and the dish is typically seasoned with cayenne pepper and other spices.  Rocky mountain oysters can be very flavorful, and are often described as having a rich, satisfying flavor.  Some people find them to be quite spicy, however, so they may not be suited for everyone.

Assistant: I’ll give it a shot!  My first instinct is to suggest that “rocky mountain oysters” is a dish, not a plant, so there are no specific ingredients.  I’m also guessing this friend is interested in oysters in general, and is recommending this dish as a way to learn about them.  So if you like, I can give some general information on oysters in general.  For example, the “hard shell” oysters you are probably familiar with come from around the Pacific, and are known as Pacific oysters or “Japanese oysters”.  There are also more well-known oysters from the “East Coast” that are known as Eastern oysters or Atlantic oysters.
