Filed under 'Foods that will never touch my lips', Deja Vu, Oddities and other Nasty things. Posted by RagDollCustoms on www.blogadvance.com/forum under Cooking: I was shopping in an Asian Market today. Right between the ribs and the ground beef was a pile of what was marked 'Beef Pizzle'. I barely made it back down the aisle without wetting my pants. A little boy was asking his Mom (LOUDLY) 'Whats a beef pizzle????' I seem to remember a similar scene being played out back when I was in high school. A good friend of mine was enlightened to the the contents of an Asian Market meat case by the sight of 'Beef Pizzle'. Needless to say 'beef pizzle' was one of his new favorite words. I wonder if he still sprinkles the words into his daily conversations. So, 15 years later, does this mean that 'pizzle' is the official nomenclature for bovine male parts according to the grocery market? I mean after all this time? I guess it would be rather unnerving to see the words oh, say 'Bull Penis' written on the card right next to the ground beef. Deja Vu again. I seem to remember being part of a conversation about Barbacoa,beef heads and the discussion of it's recipe with some friends of mine. Anyone up for barbecued beef pizzle?
