If you are a dude and you are planning to have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the next half hour, come back and read this post after your meal. Make that half an hour after your meal.

Someone is lopping off the totem poles of dogs, donkeys and tigers and making a fortune by serving them as gourmet delicacies.

"We are in a cosy restaurant in a dark street in Beijing but my appetite seems to have gone for a stroll outside.

Nancy has brought out a whole selection of delicacies.

They are draped awkwardly across a huge platter, with a crocodile carved out of a carrot as the centrepiece.

Nestling beside the dog's penis are its clammy testicles, and beside that a giant salami-shaped object.

"Donkey," says Nancy. "Good for the skin..."

She guides me round the penis platter."

Given that "Organ Soup" (broth containing goats' penises) hit Singapore hawker centres years back, I guess I shouldn't be making a big deal out of this. But Organ Soup never sat well with me either.

It must be that at some primal level I find something objectionable about chewing on some other creature's manhood / beasthood. Afterall, I have no bone to pick with eating a chicken's rear leg...

Anyway, read more here if you have the stomach for it.



Some quotable quotes:

"It is cold and bland and rubbery."

"Not long ago, a particularly rich real estate mogul came in with four friends. All men. Women don't come here so often, and they shouldn't eat testicles,"

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