I just posted about the corn mishap at our last team dinner in Shenzhen. Well, there was certainly more excitement at our table than mere spilled corn juice.
Another interesting dish ordered at this meal was cow's knuckle soup. This was the center of the dinner as it can be seen at the center of the lazy-Susan. The broth, beef and corn flavored was more than tolerable.
However, there is more to cow knuckle soup than the broth and corn.
For the more daring, there are the knuckles themselves.
First, you put on a plastic glove and pick a knuckle out of the broth.
Then, you grab a small straw and insert it into the bone marrow of the femoral condyle.
Then, you suck away. The marrow has a very bland taste making the whole project not really worth the effort. However, you can now go your whole life telling everyone you sucked the marrow out of a cow's upper knee joint. Maybe, if you are in a Chinatown somewhere, that will get you action with the ladies.
