Ten-Thousand-Year Viagra Hotpot
I found an article in Chinanow.com by Peter Hessler: Four young men, four animal penises. Will the brave diners rise to the occasion?
CHENGDU, Sichuan-- The restaurant manager becomes visibly uneasy when asked for details about the dishes at the Hall of Eternally Abundant Longevity, a Chengdu hotpot venue that guards its recipes as if they were gold. And Mr. Huang gets especially nervous when asked about the possible copyright violation of the most expensive item on his menu: Ten-Thousand-Year Viagra Hotpot.
"There's absolutely no connection between our hotpot and the American Viagra," says Mr. Huang. "We chose the name because it's a homonym. 'Weige' [Chinese for Viagra] sounds like 'weiguo'--Great Pot. That's why we chose the name, because we serve it in a great big pot. It doesn¹t have anything to do with the American Viagra."
