For all those who like ODing on kebabs, this news should fill you up. A restaurant in Dubai has set a new Guinness record by preparing the world's largest kebab that weighs 468 kg. CS lists out some other food items that you might (or might not) find appetising:
>>u00a0Japan has come up with a new delicacy -- the shit burger. Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher came up with the concept after Tokyo Sewage asked him to find a way of using up the city's waste. Ikeda found that human excreta was packed with protein. His research team extracted the proteins to create an artificial steak, which is turned red with food colouring and flavoured with soy.
>>u00a0The Americans have created a pizza that is stuffed with real insects. You couldn't have asked for a more crunchy pizza.
>>u00a0There even is a jam made of Lady Diana's hair. London caterer, Sam Bompas, bought the hair on ebay, infused it with gin, and mixed it with milk and sugar. He now sells it for ufffd5 a pot.
>>u00a0A bird's egg might be edible, but the Chinese use Swifts' nests to make a special soup, known as the Caviar of the East. Swifts make their nests predominantly out of saliva, which has a unique gelatinous, rubbery texture.u00a0
