Do You Like PENIS?
I was asked the rather unusual question above on a visit to Beijing, China a few days ago. I was on a part business, part pleasure trip. More on the trip in a later post. A bunch of us visited the 'Snack Street' market on Sunday where they serve all sorts of weird food stuff on a stick like in the photos below.
These eastern delicacies which were all impaled on a thin wooden stick included live scorpions which had been skewered and somehow managed to keep wriggling. They were dipped in hot oil for a minute before being served with a spicy sauce - yum...ouch!
Other treats included crickets, grubs (fat caterpillar type blobs), centipedes, sea snakes, beetles, silk worms, star fish and .....wait for it........sheep penis! - yes you heard right!
Always on the lookout for a good photo, I reached into my pants and pulled mine out (my camera that is!) and tried to focus on the woolly ones curly members on a stick (see above).
As I was snapping my picture, the stall vendor went into serious hard sell tactics and shouted and pointed directly at me - "YOU LIKE PENIS?"
I tried to ignore him and get a better picture but the more I ignored him, the more he pointed and the louder he shouted - "YOU WANT TRY PENIS?" - HEY MISTER - YOU LIKE PENIS?"
Needless to say the bunch of lads I was traveling with and everyone within a 20 meter radius found this hysterical so I retreated hastily with my tail/penis between my legs.
I never got to try penis and I probably never will - Not that there's anything wrong with trying penis!

Okay, I am in hysterics. Best post yet.
Awesome! Two thumbs up.
What else did they have on a stick. I thought fried bugs is mostly a Thai thing?
I tried to laugh but was too busy gagging! Tell me you didn't eat any of that stuff? Then I suspect there's a fair bit of penis in sausages.
I am still laughing...
@ Trina: Thanks, glad you liked it
@ TCL: They had 'normal' stuff like beef, chicken and fish too
@ Baino: I tried some squid but that was as adventurous as I got
@ Fida: Ditto
@ Maxi: So does yours
Jaysus, yer man Bear Grylls would be in heaven there.
Shouldn´t this post have been titled DICK ON A STICK ?
That was the perfect opportunity to pull a 'crocodile dundee' moment...
'That's not a penis...'
Bugs on sticks look even more revolting than bugs in the flesh. No way would I find those appetising unless I hadn't eaten in six months.
@ Thrifty: definitely up his street
@ Ken: LOL - wish I'd thought of that
@ Xbox: I can safely say mine is bigger
@ Nick: It was like one of those awful reality shows where they make the contestants eat bugs except here you pay and do it voluntary
@ Stevo: Interesting CV you're compiling there!
hahah, what a sales pitch!
@ Anil: they could sell you a bridge here
Hilarious.
Love your eye for a good photo - and a good story.
@ Wandermom: Thanks - it's fun to do
You were right, this is worst than the canned meats I had on my blog. I don't know..the wifey-poo is always saying there's nothing like a good penis sometimes. I don't think this is what she had in mind though...
@ VE: ha ha - make sure wifey is kept happy!
