I'm all for using unusual ingredients but I don't think I would try these recipes

"The next secret ingredient on the Food Network? The e-book version of "Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes" is now available, ending the refractory period on cooking with sperm. Although the experimental repasts, including Hollandaise sauce flan, may not offer any real health benefits, sperm could prove a smart staple in a faltering economy. As the Lulu description indicates, it's "inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, restaurants and homes."

Not everyone is impressed with the gastronomical gimmick. One Lulu reviewer complains "it takes a lot of balls (so to speak) to publish a book like this," bemoaning that the main ingredient seems to be added in as an "afterthought."

I wonder if Andrew Zimmern is gonna do a show on this?

(Hint: if you don't know what felch is, do NOT look it up)
