just stop calling people's beliefs stupid. you're citing progress as if that matters. Muslims believe pork is off-limits not for health concerns but because their god commanded it. You don't have to observe those traditions. No one is asking you to.
I don't see how eating pork is progress. If they choose to pass on the lamb chops and bacon burgers...that's OK with me.
Maybe they should? On the menu today: horse penis and testicles with a chilli dip By Richard Spencer in Beijing (Filed: 17/02/2006) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...17.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/02/17/ixnewstop.html The menu at Beijing's latest venue for its growing army of gourmets is eye-watering rather than mouth-watering. China's cuisine is renowned for being "in your face" - from the skinned dogs displayed at food markets to the kebabbed scorpions sold on street stalls - and there is no polite way of describing Guo-li-zhuang. The waitress presents a dish combining the male organs of the ox and snake Situated in an elegantly restored house beside Beijing's West Lake, it is China's first speciality penis restaurant. Here, businessmen and government officials can sample the organs of yaks, donkeys, oxen and even seals. In fact, they have to, since they form part of every dish - except for those containing testicles. "This is my third visit," said one customer, Liu Qiang. "Of course, there are other restaurants that serve the bian of individual animals. But this is the first that brings them all together." Guolizhuang's owner, who set it up in November, is proud to combine his own surname (Guo), his wife's (Li) and his son's nickname (Zhuang) into its title. A booking comes with a trained waitress and a nutritionist in attendance, to explain the menu and to boast its medicinal virtues. Dog's penis, garnished with a plum In China, you are what you eat, and The Daily Telegraph's nutritionist, Zhu Yan, said the clients were mainly men eager to improve their yang, or virility. Women could benefit, too, she added, although she told the Telegraph's female photographer: "I wouldn't recommend the testicles. The testosterone might interfere in fertility. But many women say bian is good for the skin." Some dishes appear unexceptional, such as the simple goat penis, sliced, dipped in flour, fried, and served skewered with soy sauce. But Guolizhuang also has its showpieces, such as the elegantly named "Head crowned with a Jade Bracelet" (provided by horses from the western Muslim region of Xin-jiang), for £20 a portion, or "Dragon in the Flame of Desire" (yak, steamed whole, fried and flambéed) for £35. For beginners, Miss Zhu recommended the hotpot, which offers a sampling of what the restaurant has to offer - six types of penis, and four of testicle, boiled in chicken stock by the waitress, Liu Yunyang, 22. The Russian dog was first. It was julienned, and rather gamey. The ox was, of all six, the most recognisable for what it was, even though it had been diced. In texture seemed identical to gristle. The deer and the Mongolian goat were surprisingly similar: a little stringy, they had the appearance and feel of overcooked squid tentacles. The Xinjiang horse and the donkey, on the other hand, were quite different. Though both came sliced lengthwise, and looked like bacon, the horse was light and fatty, while the donkey had a firm colour and taste. The testicles were slightly crumbly, and tasted better with lashings of the sesame, soy and chilli dips thoughtfully provided. One speciality, Canadian seal penis, costs a hefty £220, and requires ordering in advance. Miss Liu confessed that Guo-li-zhuang was an unusual place to work, partly because of her training - she has to recite tales proving the vigour of the animals in question as they are being eaten - and partly because of the interaction with the clientele. "I did find it embarrassing at first," she said. "And sometimes the customers take advantage of me by asking rude questions." As for the supposed health benefits, Mr Liu, the most regular customer, was uncertain but hopeful. "I can't say I've noticed any difference yet," he said. "But it's a long-term thing."
Pamela Anderson playboy video before augmentation NSFW...but WOW, was she beautiful. And MAX....please read my last post......for the record, I did not call anything stupid. DD
It was stupid to mess with that body She woulda been smarter to avoid the progress of silicon, and carry on with what the good lord gave her.
did i say muslims? more than one group doesnt eat pork in the world. this article shows the many wierd food traditions that exists. mainly descriminating on the butchers of lamb.
these people have no restrictions on any food...they wont be beating out pizza hut anytime soon either.
well they havent eaten pork in thousands of years. there seems to be turmoil there and people are burning pizza huts. hmmm. china has become economically prosperous and they are in good relations with the west. hmmm sweet and sour pork!
I don't like lamb either by the way, I just hate it. Tinman, think of it this way: if 1.3 billion people started to eat pork, prices would triple or more almost overnight. I will stick with beef and chicken, thanks for the offer though. Oh, and most of those Pizza Huts in the Middle East and elsewhere don't serve pepperoni or any other pork product, and in the more conservative parts (i.e. Pakistan, Saudi, etc.) there are definitely ZERO American fast food chains that serve anything with pork, this is coming form someone who's been to many of those countries.
the thread was about sheep, pam, and islamic butchers. i threw in the pork cause that was important too. you were specifically talking about pork. thats like talking about TMac and you ask me about Stromile.
i dont disagree with you. if you dont like the way it taste then you shouldnt eat it. god shouldnt tell you what taste good and makes you happy, thats why he gave you tastes buds and teeth and the digestive system. if 1.3 billion people started to eat pork the world would be more peaceful, yes. people would only care about delicious food instead of hatred. people would open their eyes to other cultures and recipes.
I tried dog a few times, its not bad. Is that barbaric? Logically, no. Maybe the US should stop being so backwards and have different types of food enter our system. And why isn't goat meat popular here? it's good and it's really popular in other parts of the world.
i like goat cheese. the us has plenty of different foods going through it. we just so happen to not like eating our pets. plus god doesnt work for the FDA like in other countries.
YOu have a pet GOAT! But the dog they eat is a certain type, not your golden retriever. Couldn't you argue that its a stupid belief anyway? Hindus don't eat cows because they believe they are holy, is that any different to our reasons why we don't eat dog? or in your case, goat?
