Yes, you read that correctly! My husband and I went to a popular market this weekend to pick up some harder to find items for some recipes. This place has everything you can imagine – and many things you just don’t want to think about.
Beef Pizzle, Ox Lips, and Bull Fry (Balls)
What’s pizzle? PENIS! Who in their right mind would eat cow penis or ox lips or bull scrotum?
Here are some other alternatives for dinner….
Beef Tongue
Lamb's Head
Goat's Feet
What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
ewwwww!!! Only seen that stuff on fear factor! so gross. I guess if you have to?
That is DISGUSTING!!! My mom was forced to eat cow’s tongue when she was younger. Her evil step father actually handcuffed them to their chairs until her and her brother ate it. I couldn’t IMAGE going through that!
Awww, poor mom!
My dogs love bully sticks but I never wanted to share one.
nope. not me. Where in the heck is that market? Tell me it’s not Dekalb Farmer’s Market. Please.
Bufords Farmer’s Market…lol.
Haha, sounds like something Snoop Dog would eat!
Um, that’s disgusting!
Lisa, you are going to get some really funny search terms land on your blog with a title like this!! LOL!!
I told my husband about it and he said, “tell her not to eat it, they are dog treats.” hehehehehe (as if I have to worry about you eating those)
Actually, someone commented that they feed pizzle to their dog. Who would have thought of it?
Oh dear me. Yuck.
On the other hand, I googled Cow Penis recipe. *snicker*
I can’t believe that someone would really buy that.
ok – that’s gross.
I don’t think I’d shop there, lol
I think I am going to puke!
OMG! That made my stomach turn!
Well, I grew up on a farm in Poland where we ate what we grew/raised because there were no stores we could shop at, or if there were they were empty. My mom makes a mean sheeps stomach lining soup. It’s actually good!
I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to food. I have eaten tripe and tongue…but I could never eat the sexual organs of an animal. Can you find sheeps stomach in the states?
Ewww….GAG!
Bleh – that’s definitely not my cup of tea.
I have heard of a lot of these… beef tongue I may of eaten, I had a lot of what many would consider strange foods as a child. My gran could cook anything? & she did! most of these are now considered expensive rarities, but many years ago usually these were the left overs from the butcher that only a poor person could afford to buy. boy things have turned around! I still think Yuck! LOL!
Yes, lobster used to be the poor mans food – wish it were again!
That lamb’s head is the stuff of nightmares!
You are not going to catch me eating any of those. Thank goodness I already ate dinner before reading your post, LOL.
Not for me!!! My tummy hurts now…
Wow, there is not enough money in the world to get me to try any of that stuff!
GAG GAG GAG!!!
Growing up in a beef-industry family, I saw MANY of those body parts come back from the butcher. But we never ate them. Blech.
Mmm… its what’s for dinner? No thank you.
Ok, that seriously turned my stomach!! Ugh, gagging again! LOL
ack that’s disgusting. I think I threw up in my mouth a little. Tht’s just gross and to think people actually eat that. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww
wth? LOL. Why, Lisa, whyyyyy!!!!!!!
Ugh, now I’m nauseous!
Nasty.
I will pass thank you!
Seriously? Ick.
You crack me up. Very interesting I must say…..
yaiks!
ahhhhhhhhhhhh, that’s disgusting. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing that I already ate breakfast or not…. ew! haha. So, what did you end up buying? Any of those?!
Oh my goodness! That’s horrible! I may have eaten some gross things in my life, but nothing quite as gross as those options.
I don’t know that I would go for eating penis but some Rocky Mountain Oysters are pretty decent. 🙂
can you imagine the table talk…”hey pass the penis please”
Penis…it’s what’s for dinner! Gag. I can’t believe people eat some of that stuff.
I don’t even know what to say?! LOL I can’t think about anything I’ve eaten (nor do I want to) right now. Um, EWW!
Oh.My.God. I have to go vomit now.
Forget the penis warning…I would have rather had the Fear Factor warning. 😉
That’s gross!
ick!!
*gag*
OMG gross.
Yuck!!!
Rocky Mountain Oysters: Mmmm- they’ll put hair on your vagina!
Hah, you people are a bunch of weenies (so to speak). I figure if there’s anything someone’s eaten more than once (voluntarily) it can’t be too damn bad, and seriously, you cut one part of the cow off and it’s cuisine, but the next part over is somehow repulsive. I buy tongue when it’s available; properly prepared, it’s awesome. Most of the other things aren’t commonly available around here (wonder why?) I’m looking to get a pizzle and cook it up for my son; happy April fool’s, hehe, but I’ll be eating it too, so what the heck? This stuff’s not gonna poison you if you don’t do it blatantly wrong. Maybe you won’t like it, but get over yourselves, seriously.
