Guest Madapple Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Situated in an elegantly restored house beside Beijing's West Lake, it is China's first speciality penis restaurant. Here, businessmen and government officials can sample the organs of yaks, donkeys, oxen and even seals. In fact, they have to, since they form part of every dish - except for those containing testicles. When they say organ they mean organ. Braised seal penis anyone? I think I'm going to be sick. A booking comes with a trained waitress and a nutritionist in attendance, to explain the menu and to boast its medicinal virtues. Should come with a sic bag and an after dinner mint instead. I had to stop at the picture of dog penis garnished with plum. Oh ye of cast iron stomch, follow the link. Horse Penis and Testicles with Chili dip Although Keith, now that I think of it, Jason may now be taking Susan to China. ('two words' game) Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Hmph. If I want to eat balls, I don't need to go all the way to China. Quote
Leonhart29 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Um.... I'm a bit squeemish as it is and this helped me HOW? Just the thought of this makes me wanna Quote
quamp Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Ah, you Canadians... (Well, except for Leonheart29) A bull's penis has been served all over the USA, usually under different names. It's also known as the Rocky Mountain Oyster, Caffries, among others. It's the same kind of meat that you'd find on most other parts of a bull. O.k., I admit it's a bit of an acquired taste. Then again, people are squemish about eating squid, but they'll eat calamari. Quote
Squallfan Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 EEEEEWWWWW! I don't know what's worse. This, or people that eat monkey brains. Quote
Leonhart29 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I've had Mountain oysters... and I've tasted almost every part of the bull... which is why I think I can get a bit sick and know what I'm talking about. But this is just a bit.... more than I can handle - no doggie dick for me. Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Actually Rocky Mountain Oysters (at least here in Alberta) are the testicles, not the penis... and they do just taste like beef. We have a festival every year here in Calgary (yes... the Testicle Festival ) celebrating this dish. Quote

Though I live a lot closer to the calamari then "Rocky Mountain Oysters" XD Quote
Nanaea Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 What about Sweat Meat? I thought that was a bulls balls...or was it its tongue... Yeah, sweetmeat is another term for testicles. But it is also an archaic term for candy, an Appalachian dish consisting of pickled sheep brains and/or offal, and slang for penis. Personally, I always think 'brains' when I hear the term.... Quote
Leonhart29 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 I think of brains as well. Probably because that's what my GinnyMa always called calf's brains. I never understood how she could eat that stuff. Quote
Mourningstar Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 Personal Squick Level at play here, it would seem. I'm not that bothered about the concept, but I'm not about to immediately book a flight to China, either. I've eaten my share of the oddities of the world of cuisine (I like calamari, and every game season I wiggle a dinner invitation from my aunt, just to get a taste of the amazing things she does with an elk's liver, and I'm not even sure about some of the things I've downed in the Middle East) and I'm always willing to give it a try. Should I be faced with prepared reproductory organs, I'd try it, out of curiosity and politeness. As far as another point of view is concerned, a great deal of tourists coming to these parts of the world kick up a good cry, because reindeer is a fairly commonly used variety of meat here, and the thought of cooking up sweet little Rudolph is too much. (Which is odd, really, considering that more often than not, the ol' Red Nosed is depicted as a deer instead of a reindeer, but I digress...) And honestly, the amount of foreigners willing to eat the damn national delicacy, sweet oven-baked malt porridge, is microscopical. At least with bull's balls, you only have the superficial knowledge that it's disgusting. This stuff looks the part, too. (No, I don't like taste of it, myself.) *clicky* Not for the squeamish. Quote
