Actually, I did not get super excited when I picked up the package from the post office this morning. (It was express, and they wanted me to sign for it.) I suspected and then saw that it was from John the Scientist and Nathan. I had a little thrill of apprehensive fascination, wondering what strangeness awaited me.
I did open it at work, but not with anyone nearby, so I didn't have to explain why someone was sending me food-grade bull penis. Mmmm... yummy! :D
I think the really raunchy jokes will be reserved for a more private venue, but job well done, boys. I think I was a little more icked out by the idea of meat that's been in the mail (with an ice pack, yes) for a day or two, rather than the source of the meat itself. I'm probably not going to eat it a) because it was in the mail for a day or two and b) because it's main attribute seems to be chewiness (and is a good treat for dogs). Nice try.

Duck tongues and food grade bull peni.
Lovely.
They are pretty classy guys, aren't they?
Is "bull penis" redundant in the same way "cow penis" is an oxymoron? Sorry, just had to ask....
I have as much idea of how to prepare bovine genitalia as I do duck tongue... no, wait, that may not be true: aren't the testicles usually fried?
We have you covered, Anne. :D
My first thought, even though it was wrong, was Rocky Mountain Oysters. Now I'm wondering if there's a similar name for the part you were given?
Even though Rocky Mountain Oysters might explain one of the choices, I have no explanation for Duck tongues.
Tom, I have to quote the link to give you an answer to your question:
For lovers of the delicacy, the question as to what makes the organ so prized is a no-brainer. Surrounded by a faint hint of meat and papery thin layers of cartilage, duck tongue is predominately a vehicle for juicy pockets of fat. At barely two inches in length, the tongue is small and flimsy, yet its taste is intensely ducklike. When freshly fried, duck tongues are positively addicting with a crisp surface and a creamy, slightly fatty interior that melts in your mouth. Like potato chips or pork cracklings, one tongue is never enough.
Okay, I may need to try duck tongue if I'm ever at a place that serves it. Duck-flavored potato chips? I could be down with that. I could be waaaaaay down with that.
When they say "fried," are we talking pan-fried or deep-fried, by the way?
This is Chinese food, Eric.
Authentic Chinese food.
Deep fried Chinese food.
You just come up to NYC for a trip, and Nathan and I will fix you up. :D
As a follow-up to the pizzle scenario: based on the link, John, I'd probably be willing to try it at a decent restaurant, but (if it's not presumptuous to say) please don't ever worry about sending me any: I don't have ten hours to make a bowl of soup that doesn't taste like much of anything.
My sister lives up there. I owe her a visit sometime, I just don't know when.
She's mostly a vegetarian though she eats fish these days, so I don't know that she'd be up for joining us.
Any decent Chinese restaurant (i.e. one where the majority of acutal clientelle is Chinese) will have fish only and veg only dishes for the serious Buddhists.
And happily enough, that's exactly where the intersting stuff will be, too. :D
I keep getting stopped cold by Janiece's description of the bull peni as "food grade". Is there some other sort that's not intended for consumption?
And does eating it constitute some form of beastiality? And if I eat any does that make me gay?
I'm conflicted on this on so many levels.
And does eating it constitute some form of beastiality? And if I eat any does that make me gay?
Only if it's still attached. And if the bull isn't breathing, you can add "necrophilia" to the list.
What? I write horror stories. I think about this kind of thing.
Not necrophilia, necrofeastia.
Nathan, "food grade" means intended for consumption by humans. You wouldn't need to have as high standards when preparing something for consumption for animals, in this case, dogs.
BTW, today I saw "bully sticks" which are dried bull penis for dogs to chew on. Hmmm... chewing on penis. Not appetizing, but I imagine slightly discomfiting (like the application of knives to peni) to those with one. :)
You know, I am getting a bit more nervous about dinner on Wednesday night...
Natalie: Bob's Noodle! Bob's Noodle! Bob's Noodle!
You know you want to! :D
And to the rest of you, no, "Bob" was not the name of the bull!
