BEIJING - When sampling donkey penis at a Beijing restaurant,
it may help not to think about what is being eaten and just
focus on its benefits. It's good for the skin, in case you're
wondering. The Guolizhuang restaurant claims to be China's
only restaurant specializing in penises, the BBC said Sunday.
That's right, penises. Dog, reindeer (a delicacy), snake
(they have two) and ox. It serves its unusual bill of fare
in a variety of ways, from chilled to fried. The restaurant's
owner came up with the menu after he began looking into
traditional Chinese medicine, the BBC said. Apparently
appendages such as these are low in cholesterol and can be
used to treat a variety of conditions, such as sexual
dysfunction, the BBC said.
Reindeer penises? Poor Rudolf!
I'll find other things that are good for my skin, thank you very much.
Hmmmm, I just thought of something. Sort of gives new meaning to "Come Dasher, Dancer, Prancer...you know the rest.
It's meat, so edible, why are we so worried about this kind of thing when for years we've been eating ground up penis and testacles in sausage and burgers. If it's meat and is said to be nice, I'll try it at least once. It's been cooked, it's not as though I'm performing oral on the animal. lol
I think it's just the idea of it. If you don't know what's in it, you might not have a hard time. But being told up front that you're eating donkey penises, just eeeeuuuu!
Hopefully, the madame donkey doesn't think it's that bad.
The bbc is good at these kinds of stories. Several years ago I heard a broadcast about a restraunt that served rat meat. They actually had a German tourist throw up on mike when they told him what he'd been eating.
Sheds a whole new light on the happy meal, right?

I've heard in texas the cowboys eat bulls testicles, they call the delicacy prairie oysters
Actually, I think they are called mountain oysters, (at least that's what I've heard them called).
I tried them once for the sake of saying I had done that. Pretty bland, but the thought of what I was eating really did a number on me.

...so BlBobby,
Oye, I thought I was hungry for dinner. I'm not so sure now...
In Texas they are prairie oysters
I don't think I'd eat these things if I knew what they were, but if I did, I'm not so sure I would!
