I think the tiger thing is upsetting, if only because the reason they eat it is so stupid! Okay, yeah, it's endangered, but I'd be less annoyed about their eating it if it were delish! lol...

It was given to me by a customer in a dock-side pub.

All said dog and tiger penis were weird things to eat, or outlandish. Obviously if this site's audience was Chinese this wouldn't really make as much sense. As most of our readers are from the UK, Europe and US then I'd say most people would find it unusual. The aim of the article was really just to give people an idea of what different countries and cultures eat. Thanks, Paul @ TravMonkey.com Hi Trudy,

They seem like they would only be considered weird to an American or something that packs their plates with other dead animals. I can't see how anything in China could be weird if that particular thing is eaten by a good chunk of the population considering they have the largest population in the world. Weird is defined as outlandishness or strikingly out of the ordinary and if enough people eat something there, not sure if it would be "out of the ordinary."

Nice! I've tried Snake, Guinea Pig, Alligator and a few random bugs... Nothing too bad... actually I have eaten a few things that I'm not really sure what they were. That was in China and the language barrier was a problem! Thanks, Paul @ TravMonkey.com Hi Jane,
