Japan's latest delicacy

[Merckx index]

From the country that gave us fugu, a guy/girl shows us he really has, er, had, a pair.

Pictures are included in the link. At your own risk:

On Sunday, April 13, Tokyo illustrator Mao Sugiyama (who goes by the nickname “HC”), publicly seasoned and braised his own genitals on a portable gas cartridge burner, and then served them to five eager diners who each paid about $250 for the meal (a sixth was a no-show). The genitals had been returned to the asexual Sugiyama, frozen and double-bagged in plastic, following elective genital removal surgery on his 22nd birthday in early April.

Close-up photos of the braised genitals showed a sliced penis shaft with clearly visible corpora cavernosa and urethra, a sliced testicle with the look and texture of sea urchin sushi, and scrotal skin with about 3 mm of pubic hair growth. Rounding out the presentation the chef garnished the genitals with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.

That's what I thought too, even after I read what it was. Does that mean we're totally desensitized to seeing fried human body parts?

I'm surprised it wasn't served sushi style, I mean they wanted to get the full benefits from its supposed being such a delicacy? OR just gross?

As usual nothing is better than a picture

Not much of a meal
