Modern Toilet


(Imagine taken from spotcoolstuff.com)

I love food. I am the first to admit that I may love it a little to much. All it takes is some good food to make me extremely happy. There is something about eating a bowl of curry or a nice cup of ice cream. I love trying foods from different culture, and probably spend a great deal of time thinking about what my next meal should be. I love food so much that I even love to watch food related television shows.

I was watching a program last night, and saw something that made me cringe, but at the same time fascinated me. There is a restaurant in Taiwan that is themed after the restroom. All the food is served in a toilet theme dishware.

For example there is a chocolate swirl of ice cream served in a squatting toilet (those toilets are popular in Asia. I remember using them as a little girl.). There are stews and curry served in toilet looking bowls. Drinks are served in urinal shaped cups. The chairs you sit on are toilets, and the tables are sinks with glass over it.

I believe that I would be too mentally disturbed to eat at such a place, but at the same time I am intrigued. Would this be too gross for me or would I have a laugh while I am eating my chunky curry (that looks too much like diarrhea)?

I just don't know what to think, but I think it's a clever idea for a restaurant. People like strange and crazy things, and as much as I do not want to think about poo while I'm eating... I think even I am willing to try it.
