Penis restaurant

belen1974 forwarded me this story from September 2006 about a Chinese restaurant in the UK Beijing (I wrote the wrong thing when I originally posted this) that serves up lots of different kinds of animal penises. Sort of a "read it if you dare" kind of piece, kind of entertaining fluffy shock journalism--until they got to the part where they claimed to sell tiger penises from tigers that have "died of old age."

First of all--I don't think most people eat animals that have died of old age--any farmers out there want to correct me on that? Second--no reputable zoo would sell their dead animals for meat--again, if I'm wrong (be sure, please) correct me. Third--I think it's a load of bull penis. Either they are illegally obtained tiger penises, or they aren't really tiger penises. I think it's probably poaching or fraud. And how do I feel about people eating tiger penises, anyway?
