I was 15, and I went to a friend's house for a hot pot party (it was extremely popular in Hong Kong, friends and families gather around a hot pot of boiling water, where they would throw all kind of meat inside) One of my fellow classmates bought a bag of pink and tender looking things to the party which I later on found out was chicken testicles. I had never had a chicken testicle before, but I had heard of the fact that many Chinese men eat it to enhance their sexual prowess. We all were once young, and foolish - we decided to play a game, and whoever lost had to eat the chicken testicle. I do not remember what game that was, all I knew was that I lost. I slowly scooped out one of the wet and slippery chicken testicles, put it into the boiling water. I had no idea when I was supposed to take it out, but I did anyway...
I put it in my mouth. It was boiling hot. I closed my eyes, and took a bite. Disgusting juices squirted out. I have to admit, it did not taste terrible. To some extent, it tastes merely like a boiled egg, but the texture scared me. It was so slippery, almost like tofu... but nothing compared to the thought of it. Just thinking about where it came from made me want to throw up.
Writing this blog entry was hard for me. The ghost of that chicken testicle still haunts me once in awhile. In fact, I still keep pictures of that particular testicle that scars the rest of my life...
