Chinese ‘Penis Emporium’ Serves Up the Goods

Posted on Aug 29, 2007

Who knew that eating a donkey’s, er ... member is good for the skin?  Or that women should refrain from consuming animal testicles?  These could be trumped-up claims,  but the proprietor and employees of China’s Goulizhuang restaurant, a self-described “penis emporium,” stand by them, as brave BBC reporter Andrew Harding discovered on a recent culinary adventure.


BBC:

Laughter trickles through the walls of our dining room.

“Government officials,” says Nancy. “Two of them upstairs. They’re having the penis hotpot.”

Most of the restaurant’s guests are either wealthy businessmen or government bureaucrats who, as Nancy puts it, have been brought here by people who want their help.

What better way to secure a contract than over a steaming penis fondue.

It’s Rocky Mountain Oysters. Remember the Chevy Chase movie where he ate them in the diner scene and beat the old record, then found out what they were?
Even this dish is too good for these corrupt criminals.How about feeding them chitterlings since all they give us is a lot of crap.

Well, in some southern states,  such as Louisiana, they consume pork testicles too; they call them Mountain Oysters!

Have any of you ever attended a Nebr. branding where we serve up the calf testicles as a gormet treat after the morning of hard chasing, roping, branding and castration.

Too me there isn’t a lot of difference.
I think it’s a beastly and uncivilized
treat. But the redneck cowboys enjoy!!!

To rocks, trees, lichens and whales September 23, 2006 is recent; for humans and their topical websites it’s closer to a year ago than “recent.”
