    • kind of disturbing on many levels. the "goes down good" made it less palatable.
      perhaps the fact Adam's face was kind of pink but then commented "kind of chewy".. oh gag!

      gimme a burger...oy!

    • I thought this was a very unusual video. I mean.. I have never seen the penis cooked and displayed in this typ of fasion. In the Jamaican culture this is a soup made from bulls penis and is called cow cud soup. I have had it and found it very tasty once you get over the psychological effects of what you are eating.

      Cow Cud soup if made in the traditional way is pretty spicy and is usually mixed with some other meat for flavor. Most commonly it is mixed with cow foot or hoof. The penis is boiled several times before actually making it to the final pot. When cut it is simply cut into one inch pieces and the head is left intact.

      In the carribean this soup is used as an aphrodisiac and is said to help give the men a rise. I guess to some extent this is true and it does but I don't think it is from the meat itself, I think it is more the psychological effect of what is being eaten.

      The penis itself [if cooked properly] has no flavor and is very soft and easily swallowed once past the phycosis. Since the penis itself is not a muscle it does not have the consistency of, lets say.. a steak and tends to be a fatty typy of texture that passes the mouth with a minimum of chewing

    • Saying, "It goes down easily", in this piece, several times, made it very difficult to forget that he was in fact, eating a penis platter. All I can say ladies, is that at least there was sauce to make it taste better.

    • I was cringing when I watched this. I got a spring roll at a place we went to eat one time and I told my friend it looked like a condom and I couldn't eat it. There's no way I could have ate penis. None.

      For Amazing Race and a million dollars, sure. But because I was dared to? Nah.

    • Hey Colonialzombie,
      I, too, am a vegetarian. However, I don't think is your place to comment on current's television.
      First of all, China does have a cruel meat industry, but so does the US. However, I do not see you commenting on pods in disgust when they feature or show someone sitting down consuming a burger or chicken (all which were also treated poorly). So instead of being caught up in the fact that Adam is consuming an animal-based food, or that these animals were probably treated poorly, I feel like your getting caught up in the fact that a) he's consuming ox, goat, and donkey and b) penis, because these animals and this particular body part have a western stigma about them. Both the US and China have cruel industries. We just consume different parts of different animals.

      I don't really feel it is your place to criticize judgement on an entire culture for consuming meats that to you seem exotic (for example, penis) when I don't feel you would write a huge long rant if this pod were about your own culture and adam was eating a burger.

      Ox meat is meat like any other meat. None of the animals he consumed are going extinct any time soon. Ox isn't much different than cow.

      I don't know. I just really disagree.
      I too am a vegetarian (for a multitude of reasons- but one of them being cruelty to animals) however I wasnt offended by this pod. I disagree with the consumption of meat, and I wish Adam wouldn't, but it's his desicion to make.

      I feel it's inappropriate when people try to get me to eat meat again, so i won't do the same- i won't try to get people to go vegetarian unless they ask me about it, or if they are interested.

      i found this pod actually really interesting, because I am soon doing a homestay in china.

    • Dear Current,

      Please stop playing this Pod. It was funny the first time, but now it is sooo old. I Get It. Move On. I love Current, but you guys gotta start mixing it up. I've had enough Penis.

      Love,

      It's a different culture with different views on animal rights.

      I am a veggie of 20 years and I think this is fucked up too.....but do you really have the right to condemn a culture that is much older than yours?

      I think you are just cultural blind. In India, cows should be treated as god, and should be free, thus having cows kept in farms a bad thing? Americans are very stupid with their standards. Their standards does not mean the world. Key world "WORLD". So keep it to yourself if you don't like how animals are treated, else Indians will start telling you, Westerners not to eat cows at all.

    • Regarding the Russian airplane flight. I flew in this same type of plane and what the passengers thought was smoke was, in fact, a fine water mist that is a part of the air conditioning system. I was also nervous when I first saw it.

    • Bull penis is available in New YOrk. Go to St. Mark's Place between 2nd and 3rd and go to the restaurant w/t the giant raccoon in the front. Unfortunately, no raccoon penis is available in the restaurant
