Beef Penis Improperly Sold for Human Consumption, Suit Alleges.

My question is, did anyone actually eat it?

AUSTIN, Texas —

A grocer and some of its employees are accused of improperly re-packaging pizzle — another name for beef penis — and labeling it for human consumption.

The Texas Attorney General’s Office named an MT Supermarket store in North Lamar and some of its employees in a civil suit.

The employees are accused of removing the pizzle from containers “labeled inedible beef, not intended for use as human food and repackaged the pizzle in consumer size packages, then labeled the pizzle as human food."

Dried pizzle is a common treat for dogs, and in some cultures it is dried and ground to be used in soups and is considered an aphrodisiac.

The suit could result in $5,000 in fines.

it's that they were eating the wrong penis. We can all learn a lesson from this. Never eat a penis that hasn't been properly inspected.

I find those in my new clothes sometimes, but they are a little sticker.

but decided against it. One can easily find it though doing a search and there's many such videos.
