Brains, Intestines, Pizzle

It’s what’s for dinner.

I was in a huge Asian market in central New Jersey today and saw, in the frozen food section, piled high, at least 3 dozen ox penises. I’ve been in this store many times and never noticed them. Not that they weren’t there, but...

Adding some sizzle to pizzle.

Here in Los Angeles it’s sold at the Taiwanese chain stores (99 Ranch, Shun Fat, Phu Ky) and is sold under "bull pizzle". I have no idea how it would be prepared and I’m not about to ask... but my guess would be like...

bilingual Sichuan Cookbooks from China (chowhound deleted the link to the home-cooked ox penis recipe I posted on my website, but you can find it if you try) and was truly amazed at how the use of offal dominates home-style...

of Americanized Chinese food — sweet and sour, General Tso’s, etc. — but all of the rest is the real deal, including ox. I was with unadventurous eaters (my wife and two of our children) so I was the only one who ordered...

in the freezer section of an Asian grocery store a packaged meat labeled "beef pizzles." Well, I didn’t know what a "pizzle" was, because I hadn’t heard of the term before. In hindsight, I suppose I should have known...
