There've been times when I had the flu & just thought I should pour my chicken soup right into the bowl. It would've been faster...

Taiwan Restaurant Delivers Food on Western and Asian-style Toilets

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan Jun 3, 2005 — Taiwanese restaurateur Eric Wang has given new meaning to the traditional revelers' cry of bottoms up. His eatery in the southern city of Kaohsiung delivers its food not on conventional plates and dishes, but in miniaturized Western and Asian style toilets, both the flush and non-flush variety.

For anyone missing the point, diners are encouraged to stir up mushy, earth-colored offerings like curry chicken rice and chocolate ice cream to conjure up well, the real thing.
Random thoughts:
--They don't mention if the bidet doubles as a soda dispenser...
--I wonder if the napkins are 1-ply or 2?
--So, are you supposed to wash your hands before you eat or after?

Edit: I got tipped off to this story in the This Is True newsletter (www.thisistrue.com). There's a free subscription with 4-5 stories a week, and a paid version with 8-10. Try it, you might like it...

Perhaps quality wise, but as far as presentation McDonald's is still a little better.

Though I'm sure this guy's toilets are much cleaner.
