I can't believe an LA restaurant doesn't have this stuff...

The menu at Beijing's latest venue for its growing army of gourmets is eye-watering rather than mouth-watering.

A dish combining the male organs of an ox and a snake
China's cuisine is renowned for being "in your face" - from the skinned dogs displayed at food markets to the kebabbed scorpions sold on street stalls - and there is no polite way of describing Guo-li-zhuang.

Situated in an elegantly restored house beside Beijing's West Lake, it is China's first speciality penis restaurant.

Oh, care to see some photos from a farmer's market in Guilin? Yeah, I was starving after I took these.

sorry, dog penis trumps pig snout. :p

And you guys think sushi is icky?

I could eat sushi every day and be happy.

Yep, I'd love to be able to afford to pay live in chef to cook traditional sushi and Jap food for me.

who said sushi was icky?

Cannibalism trumps all: Nothing beats a good bowl of beans and Frank.

On one of the hunting threads weeks ago... they started with venison then in typical PP oneupmanship they went on about the most bizarre wild animal they had eaten. Then after pages of testimony to how yummy everything on the planet that walks on four legs is (including their innards and sex organs) they all agreed that you had to be crazy to try sushi.

That's just wrong...

If I had to choose between land and sea, I'd choose sea.

Although you may be on to something nostatic... this is Los Angeles... people will do almost anything here... this could be our chance to break into the restaurant business.
What do you think.

Winnie world?
Penisland?
Schongalisious?

Der Wienner.... oh wait...

while this feast continues i have a bit of a tail (yeah i know, tale, but read on) for you guys. it was not meant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but when I had my male dog fixed by my buddy who is a vet i had him save the dogs go-nads for me. i now keep them on my mantle in, what else but a Ball canning jar? they are marinading in formaldehyde, and if one of you kooks that eats what's been listed above wants i might send you one, if you promise not to waste it and eat every last bit. he was an 80lb lab & about 5 when i had it done, so it might be enough for an entire meal, that's if sushi fills you up.

pm me your address and i will get it headed your way.

Yeah, but pig penis's trump everything.

i suddenly feel very sheltered....but i luv's me sum sushi! :)

Pork cooked for about 18-24 hours, and all the fixin's, and ice cold local brewery beer.

It doesn't get better than that.

Eating dog is proof that the Chinese regressed after inventing printing.

A lot.

Come now; weren't you raised in Cajun country? Last thing you should feel is left out, gastrically (sp?) speaking.

whew..thanks, david (stops slobbering on dog leg bone..wipes chin)..i almost forgot myself. i's in arkansaw! :p

Had dog when I was in the PI, when in USN, was not bad, sort of like pork. You can make almost anything taste good if you cook it right. Could not do the baloot though, that was a bit nasty.

I was told the reason folks ate haggis was very simple: haggis is a very old dish, dating back to when most of the British Isles comprised villages and tribes. Of course, such rudimentary environs precluded there would be crockery of any sort in which to cook. So a meal was cooked inside an animal; hence haggis.

Okay: I go now to barf. SmileWavy

That's Gastronomically. Just helping out.

why do you say that? some people think that eating cows is horrific...

As stated in the article, the Chinese believe "you are what you eat", and they believe that to obtain the full benefit of the animal you are eating, you need to eat all of it. Anyone who has ventured outside of their hotel in China and has ordered Chicken knows what I mean.

Every culture has their favorite foods that defies logic. Deep Fried Twinkies come to mind.

While living in HK some mainland Chinese friends invited us over for dinner one night. The menu included a wide variety of "meats" in a stew format. Actually it was called a Hot Pot (Da-Been-Lo or Forwar). This was in a huge pot that was kept hot over a flame outside. It absolutely stunk and I was gagging on every mouthful!

Later, talking to some other Chinese friends, apparently this mix they served up was a rare and expensive dinner served maybe once or twice a year. It did include parts of all sorts of animals but not dog!

My wife laughed her arse off all night (and forever more on recount) as she is a vegetarian which our friends knew, and so she was not subjected to the experience, except for the smell.

It was truely a repugnant experience. The very sight of the fat floating on top of the boiling mix was...well you get the picture.

Not withstanding that I have had many fantastic meals in China and Hong Kong, especially BBQ meats, and vegetables.

I was thinking of the original topic - penis al dente. No argument on canis familiaris.

Thanks. Brain freeze. Must've been something I ate. SmileWavy

sorry, but I don't see much difference between the various animals in this regard. Maybe in this coutry, but who are we to say about other cultures?

If you really want excitement, many restaurants in China bring the animal to the table live...epsecially in Cantonese cuisine it is all about freshness. Bringing it live (especially with seafood) proves that it is fresh.

Like Mentos...the freshmaker.

I hope it wasn't thrust upon you.http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/oink.gif http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/puppy.gif http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/tiger.gif

That's kinda where my taste for sushi fades...quickly...if it's fresh, great, but still squirming, uuuurrrpppppppp. :confused:

As for utilizing the entire animal in an efficient manner, I'm all for it and would do the same in extreme circumstances; however, as long as I have the luxury of doing so, there are certain bits I'll not be eating, thank you very much.

Yep. Here's a story from a story: a guy goes to a kind of "guest only" restaurant in Tokyo, where he's been told they serve fresh monkey brains. They order it for the kicks, see? Anyway, the monkey is brought live, put in a circular enclosure in the center of the table, and a steel cap put on its head. The guests at the table are supposed to take turns hitting that steel cap with tiny mallets until the monkey is either dead or unconscious. Then comes a special knife with which one opens the scalp much like a can opener. After that, use tiny spoons for the brain and all associated slimy fluids.

Thing about the protagonist in the story: well, while the table guests were eating, with each spoonful, under the table, he felt a small hand grab and release its grip on his knee.:eek:

lol..david, if i'm reading you correctly..that about tops the meal-shockers..at least for tonight..no doubt someone else will chime in with a story about carving up a dog, a little piece at a time until they're full..or something along those lines..:eek: come on you other suthern boys..what really gross **** have we eaten?? "if it runs, swims or flies.." :D
