in central china donkey soup is considered a delicacy, and prepared with herbs that enhance a "man's power", just like dog soup. donkey soup is usually prepared in the mid-late summer, and dog soup is usually done in the winter. both are boiled and the flesh is denatured into long stringy strands that eat like noddles.

dog is also served boiled then roasted, chopped into bite sized pieces with bones in place. each bite containing bones must be carefully masticated and the bone then removed from the mouth politely with chop sticks and placed on the side of the plate. dog, done right, is actually quite tasty.

either soup should be eaten at home in company of two or more women. even a small ####&d chinese guy can't fit thru a door once it is eaten, and the effect requires more than one partner to satiate. ah, the good old days...

in central china, yes. the thing is, you should buy it on monday for best flavour quality, if not best effect.

most of the shops that prepare it do not have refrigeration, and cannot sell enough daily to sanction the kill of an entire animal on any given day, so by 4 am on a monday the donkey is standing out back on 3 legs. but tuesday morning it is on 2, and by wednesday morning it is usually on the ground for good, though not down for the count.

by thursday things are looking grim for poor old bosco, and on friday the soup goes on special. trouble is, the taste gets gamier and gamier as the week wears on, adrenaline and all that, you know. it is really pungent on tuesdays after the initial amputation, and becomes rather sour as the days pass. by saturday the bot flies are swarming the carcasse and anything within a dozen yards, so a surgical mask is advised while waiting for the cut rate servings on half price special.

the thing is, the taste is so sour by saturday that the vendors compensate by increasing the "special herbs", which make it no more palatable, but doubly effective in increasing the tumescibility of any man who has the fortitude to consume it. i would not advise taking sunday's offerings. better off to just wait for monday.

it's something i learned about first hand while riding the motorbike in the pre-dawn hours in the sections of luoyang that whites never enter (which is most of the city). samples were always comped by the vendors for the panda bear (white, looks like a human, a rare creature, but can't speak putonghua very well). watching them prepare it in big iron kettles over wood fires on the sidewalks in the pre-dawn hours was an interesting experience, to say the least.

i had donkey at a restaurant in beijing last year that served donkey exclusively. it's a pretty gamey and sinewy meat that was best stewed.

as an off topic aside i had kangaroo this past sunday. it was delicious, very delicate flavour and texture of pork.

I would imagine it was an adult donkey - a baby donkey would probably be the same as veal. In the west, we really don't eat any animal that is mature because of this issue.

cleo- one day I'm having you over for a feast of baby donkey!

Very colourful but of very doubtul authenticity - an animal with one or two limbs removed is not going to 'linger' very long.

Yay!
