When I hear about such places to eat I realize that I'm really happy person which likes to eat at home. I don't want to be a laboratory rat in their experiment to earn more money.

There was a chinese resturant in Provo, Utah that for years was considered the best Chinese resturant around until they found out that they were cooking up and serving cats and dogs. Yummy.

What's the name of that restaurant? I hope there's a branch here in our place because their foods are really unusual I can't imagine they even fried Kool Aid. hahaha. That's pretty rad.

Well... Let's freshen up the thread a little?
The deep fried restaurant sounds interesting but have you heard about the
restaurant in China that is selling all sorts of penises?

Or the restaurant that is in pitch black darkness? All the waiters there are blind and the idea is to make the costumers feel like them. Plus when one of your senses is disabled the others are empowered.

P.S I have other examples for strange/bizarre restaurants. Just ask :)

Have you heard about the one in New York that serves bugs and worms, stuff like that? I understand it is very expensive and only the upper crust goes there.

Some people have strange tastes alright! My friend from Samoa love love loves pigs tongues. She says it the best part of the pig. In New Zealand, some people like to eat huhu grubs - a type of bug. New Zealanders(not me) seem to have a thing with weird foods actually... http://www.wildfoods.co.nz/index.cfm/1,51,0,0,html

We also have those deep fried mars bars which I almost tried once but knew if I did my stomach would not be happy about it :lol:

I had some Rocky Mtn. Oysters one time at a party. I was surprised, they wernt bad at all. They split them open and wrapped bacon around them and fried them. I liked them. I wonder if the fact I had drank 30 or 40 beers had anything to do with it? :?

You should come to Ireland Bighuey we do Oysters straight out of the Atlantic washed down with pints of the black stuff (Guinness) ... an excellent aphrodisiac I'm told. We even have an Oyster Festival in September ... any excuse for a party!
