College Candy

I would consider myself a bit of a foodie. I like good food and I will try most anything once.

I say most anything because this I will not try.

We all know that China partakes in some odd cuisine, but a restaurant that specializes in PENISES? And TESTICLES?

At China’s only specialty penis emporium, located in Bejiing, you can try the penis and testicles of a Russian dog, donkey penis (good for the skin), reindeer and snake. Apparently, snakes have two penises each. More for the eating, I suppose??

Nancy, the “nutritionist” as she calls herself, served BBC food writer Andrew Harding an array of penises and testicles. She also gave him a deer blood and vodka cocktail to wash it all down.

The restaurant serves a “penis hotpot,” similar to fondue but will prepare the food anyway the customer desires. Some like it raw. And that’s what they get.

Pickled, fried or raw. You can have perineum, testes, penis and aborted fetuses.

Yes, an aborted fetus. Apparently that too is good for the skin.

Besides the fact that this is obviously disgusting, are we as American’s shutting ourselves down to the traditions of the Native Americans (and now, the Chinese) that every part of an animal should be used or eaten.

We eat the good parts, flank steaks and chicken breasts, so I guess why not dicks and balls and blood too?

As a society, we do crazy things in the name of health and beauty. Even Tommy Hilfiger’s face cream boasts the use of baby foreskins.

It makes me think that eating the c*cks and balls of animals may not be too far from what we are already doing.

But ladies, beware, we are not to eat testicles. Just in case you wanted to give it a try.
