You guys are too funny!!
What coincidence it is for me to be reading the "Hot Salep and Frozen Viagra" article from the April 2008 Orchid Digest, with a picture of the Ophyrs tuberoid bulb.. and reading this discussion thread!!

Marty,
I have no problem with botanists thinking Orchis tubers looked like testicles. My concern is the drink made from powdered Orchis tubers that the Turkish call salep. Salep translates as 'fox testicles'. I'd have no problem if the drink was call 'testicles' but why specify they look like testicles from a specific animal. Furthermore who would seek culinary advice from someone experienced enough to make such a distinction. |
