Pizzle = Penis. (seems people above say "udder", don't know if it could be that also.)

Okay call me the ignorant one, but this has gone to page two and no one else has asked and I absolutely for the life of me figure out what a pizzle is?!!

The question is if pizzles qualify as quasi-aphrodisiacs.

You know, like oysters on the half shell.

See the link in my post above.

There was pizzle and then there was udder. They were two separate dishes.

?

The ones on top, they sauteed with Viagra?

That link told me more than I needed to know about pizzle rot.

[Liza]

Famous Seinfeld line as a reference: "These pizzles are making me thirsty".

LOL, where's the rim shot?

As for the gratitude business, I'll do some more connections... I'm grateful to Arthur Schwartz for having Leff on his show about 5 years ago, so I heard about Chowhound. Then I told Jason about Chowhound, where he "met" Steven Shaw and formed a friendship that led to eGullet.com.

Just remember to soak your scabs first. Yvonne's a brave woman.

Thank you!

Now the next question:

Does this refer to the penis of a specific animal or are they all collectively called pizzle?

I knew I'd have to consult the OED eventually:

The penis of an animal; often that of a bull, formerly as a flogging instrument, now esp. in Austral. cattle- and sheep-rearing terminology.

The organ that Arabella (my sort of woman) throws at Jude (the Obscure) to attract his attention is usually described as a pig's pizzle (Hardy was more coy).

Pizzle = Penis.

Apparently Pizzle rot is more formally known as Posthitis.

Perhaps an affliction some members of this site may recognise.

I am generally not pleased when I take in a pizzle with the texture of pita bread.

As you were.

Posthitis is an anagram of 'I post shit'. Which many members will certainly recognize.

Curious. I'm getting the lay of the land here, so to speak. Many posts devoted to pizzles in an unending erection of the thread. But the "high school" thread I had tried to post on is marked "closed". I guess eating penises is more relevant than what we did with them in high school?

[Rachel Perlow]

Yes, literally eating penises is on topic.

I may use that as my signature.

More knob on the menu last night at a ( very ) memorable Kabab Cafe dinner

Surrounded by a bevy of beautiful babes ( and a couple of very nice but entirely unwanted blokes ) we had a dinner that included

Sweetbreads

Lambs tongue

Veal tongue

Lambs bollocks

Veal hearts

Lambs Kidneys

Beef knob

Again, some real works of genius in there

The wines were very good indeed ( particularly one Italian white whose name has entirely escaped me)

I brought an Ardbheg 10yr old Islay malt which seemed to vanish rather rapidly. My absolute fave scotch.

This is the one place in NY that makes me want to go back every time I am in town

[stellabella]

i bet you guys had a great time!! simon, did you get your head kissed? wish i could have been there.

[CathyL]

Dinner was indeed memorable, and great fun. Quintarelli was the Italian white. I think.

The beef knob was delicately flavored and very tender. One of the dishes - was it the veal tongue? - was lit with preserved lemon. Ali is a magician.

Simon's head may have been smooched, but not by me. An opportunity lost.

[La Niña]

I rubbed Simon's head - does that count?

We brought an Argentinian malbec - Cavas de Valle.

The lamb tongue was a modification of the dish I prepared when I did a mini-stage with Ali and Mustafa a few months ago. It does indeed have preserved lemon, and olives, turmeric, olive oil, potatoes...it's based on a Libyan recipe that's made during Passover in Tripoli. I found it originally in Copeland Marks' "Sephardic Cooking." His recipe is very simple, and quite good.

[cabrales]

Apologies, but what is beef knob?

[La Niña]

Pizzle.

[Joy]

Beef knob = the British pronunciation of beef pizzle.

Simon took to the knob very enthusiastically.

Although I am not a spirits drinker, I do have to say that the scotch Simon brought was some fine booze.

Yes, the scotch was really, really good. It was like walking through a pine forest.
