    Mmmmm...penis.If you're thinking: My, that looks an awful lot like a penis and testicles.

    Well then, you're right!  That, that you are looking at on the left is a donkey penis and testicles.  There is a restaurant in Beijing that specializes in penis cuisine.  They offer a variety of animal shlongs including yak, goat, dog and sheep.

    According to this article from the BBC, the restaurant caters mostly to wealthy business men and Communist Party leaders who go there for the "health" benefits of the food, and because supposedly eating cock will make one more virile.

    So, if that Viagra isn't working and the Tantra restaurant doesn't get you all excited, try some animal dong.  It's chockful of....something.  I don't even know what to think!  I know the people in China are starving and all, but these dicks are no cheap eats.  A meal costs an average of two months’ wages for a dumpling-factory wo

    Why stop at fast-food restaurants?  I say go for the whole junk-food industry, that includes cookies, potato chips, soda pop, candy, all those things that contribute to obesity.  It seems this country is totally out of control with their eating habits.  Many parents are not taking responsibility in feeding their children healthy diets, so what's left to do?  Parent the parents!

    Hospitalis cards

    There is a new restaurant in Riga, the capital city of Latvia. The restaurant is Hospitalis, and if you think that sounds like a hospital that's no accident. The designers have not missed any details, even the forks and knives have been replaced with surgical tools.

    At Hospitalis your servers are dressed like nurses and doctors. The tables are metal exam tables and dentist's chairs.

  • Would You Eat From a Toilet?

    Seriously, why?Maybe I just don't have a sense of humor because the idea of having my food served in a toilet-shaped bowl, while sitting on a toilet, at a toilet-themed restaurant, seems kind of repulsive to me.

    Look at that picture!  That reminds me of last Sunday morning after a bender from the previous night.

    But, this concept has really caught on in Taiwan.  The restaurant is known as the Marton Modern Toilet now boasts 12 locations, including one in Honk Kong.

    Maybe I'm just squeamish, but I don't want to be reminded of where my food is going after I'm done eating...While I'm eating it. I'm sure the food is great, but I'll pass on this one.
