The main consensus was that most people's knowledge of Chinese culture came from their childhood, with movies like Mulan. Many people in the class had links to video clips, I being one of them, and it was fun to watch the clips.
But the weird thing that came up was someone had posted a blog about the penis restaurant in Beijing.
I didn't realize that people actually ate penises. The laughing in the class got progressively higher with each commentary given by Billy Fairchild, not to mention we laughed when we heard yak penis was the most savory. (our teacher has a yak farm)
But who would've thought that frying deer penis and coating it with teriyaki would actually be good?
I guess the Chinese did. Beijing opened a restaurant, Guolizhuang, whose speciality is the penis of a variety of animals, from snakes and ducks, to more endangered animals like tigers and bulls. Don't worry the endangered species' penises come from animals that died.

According to BBC News, the owner Mr. Guo fled China in 1949 and moved to Taiwan. Later he moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he became interested in chinese medicine and began experiments on the appendages of dogs. He discovered that they are low in cholesterol and good, not just for boosting the male sex drive, but for treating all sorts of ailments.Currently the business has four franchises in Beijing, and if you're one of those people who will try anything once, but can't go to China, there's one in Atlanta, Georgia's
Chinatown.

If that's on the menu in China, I'm not sure if I want to eat authentic food.

Excellent blogging about the male member, as served in Beijing's fine restaurant, Abbie.
