Hungry?
How about some gourmet chinese food?
Doesn't that look yummy!
A visit to the Guolizhuang Restaurant in Beijing is not for the faint-hearted. Here the menu consists almost entirely of penis and testicle dishes.
The photo above is a house specialty, "Henry's Whip," featuring sheep penis on stick, covered in mayonnaise and sweet cheese, served on a bed of lettuce.
Not to your taste? Well, you could order the sheep testicles on a bed of curry, or perhaps you'd prefer donkey penis served on a bed of lettuce:
There's also yak penis, dog penis (served with a cherry on top) or "a hotpot with 10 different penis-and-testicle selections served on an attractive, four-sided plate tower with little statues of animals," as well as "deer, snakes, horses, seals and ducks, among others."
If you decide on the dog penis, be sure to keep the bone. Its supposed to bring luck and protect the holder against "harmful influences."
Where's PETA when you need them?
UPDATE: OMG! They got me again!
Someone at the NY Times has a sense of humor!

What's served as a side dish or are these considered appetizers?

I'll take my chances with a glass of water.

Egads Linda!!! Chao ba. I have eaten some strange things but I'm not that epicurean. I'll take a raincheck on that cuisine. Now whilst in the RVN the locals captured rice beetles from the paddies, these went for about the equivalent of a nickle, the kids were always hawking them roadside. It always was a turn off to watch the men bite off the heads "crunch!!!" and suck out the insides, it just wasn't my delicacy and that "crunch" of the bite stifled any curiosity. I have eaten some strange things in the village markets, I never asked, but a hot meal beats 'C' rats any day. Up north the 'Yards' carried dried rats around their wastebands so who knows what they put in their dishes, after all they were displaced Chinese, something to think about when you hit that authentic Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang Restaurant.

My son's friend was looking over my shoulder as I viewed the pics from the link. He said: "WHY are we looking at this penis eating thing? You scare me!
