Nyotaimori - 1

Nyotaimori (Japanese:, "female body presentation"), often referred to as "Body Sushi," is the extremely rare practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the body of a woman, typically naked. Nantaimori (Japanese) refers to the same practice using a male model. This subdivision of food play is originally an obscure Japanese practice that has attracted considerable international media attention.

Procedures:

Before becoming a living sushi platter, the person (usually a woman) is trained to lie down for hours without moving. She or he must also be able to withstand the prolonged exposure to the cold food. Before service, the individual is supposed to have taken a bath using a special fragrance-free soap and then finished off with a splash of cold water to cool the body down somewhat for the sushi. In some parts of the world, in order to comply with sanitation laws, there must be a layer of plastic or other material between the sushi and the body of the woman or man.

Breast Milk Ice Cream

In London, an ice cream vendor began selling one novelty ice cream Friday, naming the flavor "Baby Gaga" after the deliberately peculiar pop princess. People who try it may notice some familiar flavors in the ice cream, including vanilla from Madagascar, a hint of lemon zest and the comforting taste of human breast milk.

Mothers who produce the milk are screened as closely as blood donors, and the flavor of their milk can vary considerably depending on a number of factors, such as diet. The proprietors say that human breast milk is thinner and sweeter than cow's milk and are treating it as a gourmet delicacy, which explains the much higher price (approximately $22 per serving).

As yet, there hasn't been a comment on the breast milk ice cream from Lady Gaga herself, the reigning queen of publicity photo-ops, who may be waiting for a chance to taste the creamy treat first. Although if her videos are to be believed, she doesn't have an objection to being licked. The unique ice cream is available now, presumably in various cup sizes.
