Radicchio! Temple of Food

There haven't been many updates at the Temple of Food lately. We're trying to keep it on the hardcore edge of cuisine now and simply adding bacon to stuff isn't cutting it anymore. You really gotta make gastronomic waves to catch a nod here. With that said, may we present:

The Placenta Cookbook

Ginger, lemon, jalapeño pepper, afterbirth...

 

NyMag.com is reporting on one woman's quest to take her organ meat addiction to the next level. Don't you dare click on this link and read the whole story complete with disgusting photos.

Since we're swapping afterbirth stories...

Years ago I worked in a healthfood store and we would receive sample products from vendors encouraging us to carry their product. One day we got something called Placentagen - yup, a facial beauty product made from human placenta. It was bright red and slimy/sticky and you can save $6.00 by purchasing it on Amazon. The listing mentions that there are no "Animal Ingredients"..?

In that same week another vendor dropped off samples of "Wild Seal Oil". Anti-aging skin treatment harvested from Canada's wild Northern seals. Looks like that product didn't exactly take off. That must have been a desperate week at the anti-aging idea factory.
