THAT IS A BIT HARD TO SWALLOW

Regional products are cooler than cool these days. But uh, in London, this is taken a bit too literally. Semen in your food, yes, really. The best little company called Wonderush is about to experiment with ‘bring your own semen’. In other words: cum. SEMEN, that is. Cooking with semen.

Okay, now you might be thinking: yuck. And I might be thinking that too, a little bit. It may all sound very surprising, but it really isn’t. Cooking with semen has been done for a while. In fact, the American writer Paul Photenbauwer calls semen a ‘complex yet highly dynamic flavoring agent’.

And for those who are now considering jumping on a plane to London; five measured tablespoons of semen is all you need to create a unique three-course dinner. How about chicken with a spicy ‘jerk sauce’ for when you’ve always been curious about how your own semen tastes? Only when thirty daredevils have signed up, will the party go ahead. It’s not really taking off yet. Strange, huh?
