Bull’s penis noodles

Now here’s one dish I don’t think I could stomach: bull’s penis noodles. The description of the flavour is what’s really put me off:

“Taste: Noticeable variations in taste are rather limited. Very muscular nonetheless for such varietal. The texture of the penis resonates that of wax while the testicles have strong reminiscent of wet tissue’s. To sum up simply: banal like hell. Tried to drown these sex organs with as many chili sauce as possible, to make the swallowing, as well as life easier — proved to be futile. But, with due respect: admirable length. Not ripe at the time of serving; yet, its ripeness before the harvest is another story… Zero aftertaste by itself.”

Wax and wet tissues??! Admirable length?! I suppose the organs in question were from a bull…

The Chinese never cease to amaze me – they will eat anything. I couldn’t write we (will eat anything), because I couldn’t (eat anything)!

It’s not often I have fun choosing the tags for a post, but I must confess I got a strange kick out of typing the words bovine and genitalia for this one…
