Well, poop.

March 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment

In the article,  “Edible Excretions: Taiwan’s Toilet Restaurant” , Time Magazine describes a restaurant in Taiwan that boasts an unusual theme:

Every customer sits on a stylish acrylic toilet (lid down) designed with images of roses, seashells or Renaissance paintings. Everyone dines at a glass table with a sink underneath. The servers bring your meal atop a mini toilet bowl (quite convenient, as it brings the food closer to your mouth), you sip drinks from your own plastic urinal (a souvenir), and soft-swirl ice cream arrives for dessert atop a dish shaped like a squat toilet.

While that does not sound too bad, further in the article, it does begin to push the Edgy Card a bit too far:

The reasonably priced food includes curries, pasta, fried chicken and Mongolian hot pot, as well as elaborate shaved-ice desserts with names like “diarrhea with dried droppings” (chocolate), “bloody poop” (strawberry) and “green dysentery” (kiwi). Despite the disturbing descriptions, the desserts were great. But after seeing curry drip down a mini-toilet, I may never have that sauce again.

Now that?  Sounds simply offal, no?
