Paging Sen. Santorum

A BBC reporter in China finds that a few minutes of broiling makes man-dog relations respectable...and delicious!

Andrew Harding visits a Beijing restaurant that specializes in penis: ox, seal, dog, deer, imported Manchurian reindeer, and the ultimate status symbol, the Cristal of the Chinese businessmen set: tiger penis ($5,700).

They are draped awkwardly across a huge platter, with a crocodile carved out of a carrot as the centrepiece.

Nestling beside the dog's penis are its clammy testicles, and beside that a giant salami-shaped object.

"Donkey," says Nancy. "Good for the skin..."

She guides me round the penis platter.

"Snake. Very potent. They have two penises each."

I did not know that.

Puns, please.
