Related: About this forumMao Sugiyama Cooks, Serves Own Genitals At Banquet In Tokyo
Japanese chef Mao Sugiyama cooked and served his own reproductive equipment at a meal in Tokyo.
Just days after Sugiyama's 22nd birthday, the artist underwent elective genital-removal surgery, divvied up the severed penis shaft, testicles, and scrotal skin between five people, and garnished it with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.
On April 13, five of six diners who signed up for the $250-a-plate feast, sat down to dinner. The sixth person was a no-show.
The next day, an organizer posted a blog -- subsequently deleted -- containing pictures of the event. Images showed dozens of people who attended the event just to catch a glimpse of the rare treat.
The extra diners were served crocodile-based dishes while Sugiyama cooked up the exclusive meal.

I had no idea there was such a thing, unless it's part of a trans-gender process.
But to cook it up and serve it is BIZARRE!
