Bull Penis Soup (La Sopa de Pene)
Attention, all my men friends and family.....
Here's a dish for the brave and the non queesy stomach and for those who need a boost.

Today's bull


Tomorrow's soup

In Ecuador, as well as some other asian countries, eating soup made from bull penis has much the same effect as viagra or cialis, increasing blood flow to the genitals, improving stamina and enhancing sexual desire. It is eaten in Ecuador primarily in summer-autumn and is usually eaten by boys who are going through a coming of age, when they have a special ceremony.  With  a little help from a local guide, I found it available in city of  Banos at the market.  It wasn't that hard to find, but I do wonder how fresh it was
.
Believe it or not, after all my scouting around, I didn´t have the balls to try it and when I asked about it, the men simply thought I was a crazy woman.

Reasons why you might try it:
1) because I'm told it is delicious.
2) to be adventurous.
3) in certain situations, to be polite.
4) in a medical emergency, to induce vomiting.

Tips for Preparation:
The bull penis should be fresh.....like what?
maybe after a bull fight?
Be sure to cut it open and wash well because of the placement of the urinary tract. You don't want the flavor of urine in your food. You want to chop the penis horizontally, not vertically for more tenderness. When it is cooked it will taste like beef with tendons.

Here's the recipe:
3 pounds of sliced up bull penis
1 large chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
1 tsp salt freshly ground black pepper

Scald the penis, then drain and clean. Place the penis in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Remove any scum, then simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and slice. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and coriander and fry until the onion is golden. Add the penis slices and fry on both sides for a few minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients with a good grinding of pepper, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours, or until tender. Add a little water from time to time if necessary to prevent burning.

This should be eaten on special occasions, whether you are a young male or an old male.

Perhaps, on my next trip I'll do a personal study to determine it's effectiveness!
