I think they are called "prairie oysters". P.S. I see they go by several other names as well including "Rocky Mountain Oysters".

I assume that this is a continental Spanish word. Does anybody know what the Mexican, Central or South American terms for criadillas. I looked through some reference books for an etymology of the word (alas, I don't have Corominas). Do you know if it's related to criar, criada?

Here in Virginia, we simply refer to them as 'mountain oysters'--no particular chain mentioned.
