“It’s very rubbery, it’s got a little texture to it, but it’s very tasty. I guess… I guess I like penis.”

—Bill Plaschke, LA columnist

Oh happy day… if only LaSorda had been there, too, that really would’ve been fun.

That’s actually pretty interesting to watch. I didn’t quite like that they seemed to be doing it for a laugh at first, but it became obvious pretty quickly that they didn’t want to be offensive and were taking it seriously (insofar as the word penis allows anybody who doesn’t work with them to be serious). It’s a little awkward that it alllmost rolls into this “asians eat doggs!” thing, but again they were fairly careful not be offensive and more or less made the right cultural distinctions.

Plaschke is a regular there.

I feel like I should point out that, while more common than in the U.S. neither dog, penis nor dog penis are everyday menu items in China, particularly in north China.

That was a specialty restaurant.

Also, I’m sure Plaschke was just being demure when he said he doesn’t eat penis back in L.A.
