In solid food , there ’s often a o.k. tune between appetizing and nauseating . If you contribute a panache of cockroach to your Milk River or a pinch of poop to your coffee bar , it ’s easy to turn potentially delectable into definitively revolting .
Most of the entries on this list have some culinary meritoriousness and some likeness of appeal . But , there ’s just a piddling bit of bloody grossness added to make them not OK .
Cockroach milk
Our " next groovy superfood " might be made of our least favored roommates . Cockroach milkhasfour timesthe proteinof moo-cow ’s milk – so it ’s optimized for man proceed to the gym for gainz , or whatever .
But before you dry - heave yourself into a fit , this is in reality more of a hypothetical ( despite a grievous Zen of late press ) . The bugs do produce Milk River , but the sort we ’d cease up consuming would be recreated by scientists in a lab from a sequenced gene . The protein crystals take out from roach will most likely be used in product like protein powder down the line . If you ca n’t wait , feel free to wipe out any and all cockroach you see at your pet one - star hotel . It will be cheaper .
Poop cafes
The crap cafe follow a logical train of cerebration . Coffee is brown . So is poop . If you put coffee inside mini - toilet bowl , masses will Instagram the shit ( hehe ) out of it . And your dumb cafe will be illustrious .
Such is the font with Toronto ’s aptly namedPoop Cafe , which follows the templet laid down by Korea ’s evenly nastyPoop Cafe . This is n’t the kind of theme eating place that makes eat pleasurable . Though , it ’s still less gross thanSeñor Frog ’s .
Bug cocktails
This goes far beyond a worm at the bottom of your tequila . " Trendsetters " and " influencers " ( like Questlove and Mark Zuckerberg ’s baby , Arielle ) are now intoinsect drinks like cricket - infused vodka . Entomophagy is hardly a young thing – many cultures around the world use it – but for those of us who were n’t discipline to consume insects , the whole thing ’s a little unsettling .
Dumpster dinners
OK , so in my lowly opinion , places likeSalvage Supperclub– which makes epicure meal from discarded solid food – are doing a great religious service by taking onAmerica ’s baffling food - waste problem .
Though , at the same clip , I can see how some people might be a minuscule turned off by eat food from a dumpster , inside a dumpster . It ’s a short Oscar the Grouch - esque .
Soylent Coffiest
You may have heard a slew of things about Soylent –an uber - trendy , soybean plant - based repast replacement drink . It ’s the future of food , the key to fall behind weighting , kind of gross , made out of people , etc .
Now , Soylent comesin caffeinated form , so technical school bros in NorCal can have enough muscularity to properly synergize without abandoning their diets .
Placenta capsules
As graphical as this pic is , placenta capsules are really just innocuous little pills ( occupy with desiccated and ground - up placenta ) .
in person , I have no desire to ingest something that ’s already come out of me , though . Not that I have the option . But you see what I ’m pronounce here .
Fellatio cafes
Fellas – have you ever been sipping a loving cup of joe in your local coffeehouse and thought to yourself , " Man , I could really apply a blow job right now " ?
Yup . Everyone has .
In Geneva , Switzerland ( where prostitution is effectual ! ) " Café Fellatio " is exactly what it sound like : you go to the coffee shop and get some head . Some mass might not recall this is gross . Those are the mass who will be go here .
