摘要:Sexual and lactating organs of animals are both foods and symbols. Because the organs are visible when the animal is mating or nursing, their shape is unmistakable, and their symbolic potency clings to them, even after slaughter. Cooking them might mask or magnify these qualities. This article reports on the means employed in different communities to render these organs as comestibles. (Cooked penis, testicles, udders, symbolic associations)
