Two more foods on a stick

Man tou pian

  • Man tou pian, Beijing, China

    Coming to a Pizza Hut near you?

This is the vegetarian’s chuan — same seasoning and preparation, but made with bread instead of meat. Kind of like garlic bread on a stick.

Da yao zi

  • Balls on a stick

Sheep testicles, cooked chuan style. You’re better off not thinking about what it is while you eat it. The consistency is fine, similar to liver or kidney — but I’ll stick to the regular chuan.

Update 8/21: It turns out that this was mistranslated — it’s actually sheep kidney. Sheep testicles are common on the menu though, but I have yet to try it

    The sheep testicles are called “Yang Dan”, :P
