The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Many may have heard about it before, but I just couldn't live with myself without reporting on it.

Yes, you heard me correctly, Taiwan has a toilet bowl restaurant.

If you are lucky enough to dine at this elegant restaurant, you will not only get to sit on the piss pot, but you'll get to eat from it as well.

The restaurant, Martun (named after the Chinese word Matong, or "toilet"), serves such edibles as earthy-coloured curry chicken and chocolate ice cream to give you a sense of what goes on behind a bathroom stall... as if you didn't already know.

Of course, the restaurant is purely for oddity and for something to talk about, but it does bring in the crowd.

And, I must say, if I were ever in the area, I'd have to take a squat in their finery, as well.

Here are some really good pictures of the restaurant and the servings.

I just wonder if you have to drop your knickers before you are seated.

Of course, I'm sure the jokes are flying about Poo Poo platters and eating number one and number two.

And, when you're done, don't forget to flush.

What I'd like to know, though, is when are these fantastic ideas coming to Western culture?
