NAKED LUNCH (Latest Resteraunt Trend: Sushi Served on A Real Live Woman's Naked Body)

THERE'S nothing genteel about this finger food. Corporate bigwigs are forking over as much as $700 a head for dinner parties where guests are served sushi off a naked woman.

The secret gourmet trend has taken off in the past six months in L.A., and now New York is getting on the act.

Bump!!!

Did you have to BUMP this thread? I was going to get sushi today (at a regular restaurant).

How'd that lunch work out for you? Did anything move?

Actually vegans would argue that most herbivores (like cows and goats) do eat their own placentas after birth. Eating the placenta is supposed to give the mother hormones that help her uterus contract.

Sorry if I have made anyone on this thread throw up, but you deserve it if you clicked on this thread title!

Perhaps eating the placenta does benefit the mother but modern day placenta eaters make a ritual out of it (like a welcoming home ceremony). What do the extended friends and families get from eating the placenta of this woman?

If it is cooked in a lasagna, does it still benefit them?

This is the reality as described on websites and shown on HBO documentaries.

Lunch was fine (buffett). I got there after the rush hour crowd and sat there from 1:15 - 2:35. Sushi buffett will vary from location to location but so will quality of fish and skill of chef.

Oxidized fish is never good (not necessarily harmful, just not pleasing in taste or texture).

No real lookers among the staff (no one ugly but no 10s either). All were Japanese (I've been to some Japanese restaurants with Hispanic or Indian staff); is it racist for a Japanese restaurant to hire only Japanese (or asian) staff? What about a Mexican restaurant only hiring Mexican workers? I have nothing against ethnicities but when dining out "ethnic" or "foreign" or of a different "culture" there is an expectation of tradition and authenticity. I imagine that we will get some lawsuits against the successful restaurants someday.

there were several postings that the girl in the pic looks uncomfortable and worried.

Of cource she should be----she must be thinking to herself, "hope mom and dad does not ever get to see this pic"

Um - I can't think of any possible benefit to the eaters of cooked human placenta. The last thing I thought about when I saw the placentas after I gave birth was dinner.

I am slightly curious, though, about a related topic. Given that people in various cultures eat things like brains, stomach, thyroid, pancreas and other parts of an animal, are there any cultures which favor eating cow or sheep or goat or pig placenta?

Still, I learned some things from the interview with Joe Kort:

NJ/TSC: “What is the most common problem encountered by gay men in your practice?”

JK: “Being lonely. Wanting to be in relationship. However their behaviors do not match by either being promiscuous or when they find the "right" guy they sabotage the opportunity or decide maybe someone better is out there.”

NJ/TSC: “Are you surprised? Shocked? Or both when it comes to the non practice of safe/safer sex?”

JK: “Saddened. I think it is a form of self-abuse. I see a lot of people who were abused in horrible ways as children and then as adults they act out the abuse by hurting themselves either by cutting themselves or behaving in self-sabotaging ways. I think having unsafe sex is the same thing. We are an abused culture as a whole and I think that unsafe sex is a form of self-abuse.”

Not to LPStar and weird English ladies: Hormones can be reproduced in the lab.

I wouldn't say no to Jennifer Garner and some dragon rolls

To the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, placenta (human as well as animals) are very very UNCLEAN, BAD LUCK and TABOO and must be thrown away ASAP
