If your idea of good eating doesn't stretch to yak's penis or duck testicles, then Beijing's Guolizhuang restaurant definitely isn't the place for you. The exclusive restaurant's menu is made up almost entirely of penis and testicle dishes, Der Speigel reports. Well-heeled businessmen flock in for dishes such as "Jasmine Flowers with 1,000 Layers"—otherwise known as sliced donkey penis.

The menu extols the health benefits—mainly for men—of  specialties such as seal, snake, and deer penises, or a hotpot with 10 different kinds of penis and testicle. A restaurant specializing in penises is unusual even for China's famously adventurous diners, but the Guolizhuang has been a success and is opening new branches—including one in Atlanta's Chinatown.
