eat anything
very little is taboo and if there’s one
Taiwanese gourmet who can turn the most
exotic fare into a delicacy fit for an
emperor it is chef ping Chang Cho mr.
Cho may be Taiwan’s most highly
respected chef and tonight he will host
a very unusual dinner for some very

aphrodisiac the Chinese version of

one pot while he stews the meat in
another it will take four hours to cook
for the Chinese a chef is like a doctor
and every meal is considered preventive
medicine here nearly every item is
believed to have a specific effect on
the body the Chinese believe that what
you eat is what you treat so if you eat
a pig’s brain then you will treat a
human’s brain likewise even a boy’s
penis is thought to increase blood flow
to the genitals and boost a man’s
stamina for sex people don’t eat these
things every day you just couldn’t take

penis before still no one wants to be
the first to dig in even in Taiwan there
are food taboos that can make
connoisseurs hesitate it’s a little
scary but soon the verdict is end it’s
just like eating a piece of beef with
tendons that is why chef Cho is so great
he was able to serve bull penises in
such a way that you can’t tell which
part of the penis you’re eating it’s

the taboo into the tantalizing chef Cho

delicacy diners who may seek it out not
