I'll Take An Order of the Bull Penis Soup

In my Google searching for "bull penis" I came across this report in the Times Online (based out of the UK) by a rowing instructor who was sent to China to help train the Chinese athletes for the games. The coach was working in the Henan province at a "high-performance rowing centre that was walled, with guards and bars, like a prison."

The story got a bit interesting when he starts to describe the meals.

Every morning, after working out, they would have a soup from a big pot with 10-12 bulls' penises in. They would also eat the bulls' testicles. This was for the men; the women had something different. They were also obsessed with antlers - again, for soup.

Strong! Like bull!

Here's a random YouTube video featuring some freshly killed bull peen. I quote, "You have to cut it open and wash it clean. If you don't, then you'll have the taste of urine in your meal."

Apparently, the bull peen has the same effect as Viagra. "As soon as it hits the tongue, the bull penis jump starts the brain and enhances the sexual desire."

"the women had something different"

Bull vaginas?

Certainly. Although having bull penis in one's mouth is a highly sought after dietary supplement, you don't want it ruined by that lingering urine-y aftertaste.

I think the most important question to ask is Why in the hell were you googling bull penis to begin with???

@twig: I don't see how that's relevant.

Am I at the right place?

Remember yesterday when I mentioned to keep the Olympic posts coming? I'm beginning to wonder if that was the right thing to say. But, since you did take the effort to search for bull penis and came across this, I expect a full write-up of your bull penis experience when you get back from China. I look forward to it.

Sorry for the double post.

Greggy: Your punishment will be to eat three helpings of soup.

Only if you bring some back for me and give it a rave review.

Upon reading the headline and nothing else, I first thought Luzinski offered some lass the "Bull's Special" at the stadium. Whew.
