Cow-cod

noun KOW-kad ˈkaʊkad mild

Also spelled cow cod, cowcod

A bull's penis, used as food — most famously boiled into 'cow-cod soup', a spiced broth reputed as an aphrodisiac and stamina builder for men, in the same tradition as 'mannish water'. Sold at markets and cooked for its supposed 'strength' properties; the name is used plainly, without embarrassment, for this traditional dish.
