You crapped foil again? Unwrap the burrito *before* you eat it. That will fix that problem.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Quote:Man Burns Hole in Stomach After Consuming Chinese Death Soup
Dec 20, 2012 by Steven

Some foods are so spicy that consuming them can leave the more intolerant of us with an upset stomach. It was once believed that eating lots of spicy food could even cause gastric ulcers—a break in the tissue lining of the stomach—but this has since been proven false, the credit stolen by a bacterium known as Helicobacter pylori. If you find yourself retching with pain after lunch at an Indian food buffet, you’ve likely aggravated an existing condition and should probably have it checked out.

So as colorful as the expression is, eating spicy food can’t actually “burn a hole in your stomach”. At least, it shouldn’t be able to, which is why doctors at a hospital in Wuhan, China, were scratching their heads when a 26-year-old man with no history of gastrointestinal disorders was brought in after eating soup so spicy that it opened a hole in the wall of his stomach.

The soup in question was the broth of mala hot pot, one of the most popular variations of Chinese hot pot. The term málà literally means “numbing hot” and refers to the way your mouth feels after sipping the broth, which is made using a combination of chili pepper and a special spice, “Sichuan pepper”, known to cause a numbing sensation in the mouth.

Many hot pot restaurants in China give their customers the option to have their broth prepared with varying degrees of spiciness. The unlucky victim of this story had ordered the spiciest batch of mala hot pot on the menu, and it wasn’t long after he finished his meal that he began to feel an acute pain in his stomach.

After vomiting a large amount of blood (which may have been supplemented by the crimson red broth he had earlier consumed), the man was rushed to the emergency room of a local hospital, where the doctors found a hole in the wall of his stomach. The man had no medical history of ulcers or other gastrointestinal disorders, so the doctors concluded that the spicy mala soup must have burned right through his stomach tissue.

This may seem like a hasty diagnosis. However, at this particular hospital, roughly 15% of gastrointestinal cases are said to result from hot pot-related incidents. Doctors now even refer to these cases as “hot pot patients”.

Spicy food shouldn’t be able to destroy so many stomachs just because it’s spicy. There’s obviously something special going into the soup at the restaurants in Wuhan.

According to Sankei Biz, many hot pot restaurants now use cheap synthetic seasonings and additives instead of Sichuan pepper and other traditional, more expensive ingredients.

If you’ve ever tried real mala hot pot, you’d probably agree that any chemical additive capable of creating the same mouth-numbing sensation as Sichuan pepper is the last thing anyone should put in their body. And we thought MSG was bad…

stuffed with sausage!

Quote:Sausage-Stuffed Penis Pancakes!

The neighborhood of Ximending is located in the Northeastern part of Taipei, and is the Taiwanese hub of fashion and Japanese culture. Often referred to as the “the Harajuku of Taipei,” many fascinating sights can be seen just by walking up and down the streets, looking around at the numerous shops, and observing the customers that fill them.

Your reporters in Taipei recently stumbled across a food vendor that sells a corn dog-like concoction made by baking a sausage, coated in hotcake batter, in a special iron grill shaped like a penis.

The Taiwanese customers who visited the shop seemed to have no qualms about this startlingly detailed ‘penis dog.’ While we were there, we saw a number of people casually nibbling on their penis while walking along the busy street. We noticed that they seemed to be particularly popular with children and high school-aged girls; the latter of whom would purchase one penis to share among two or three friends.

You’ve got to admire the vendors, who seem to have no reservations about selling such raunchy treats in the middle of one of Taiwan’s busy shopping districts. Plus, at a mere $1.50, the price of this penis just can’t be beat.

In Japan, there are a number of shrines dedicated to the worship of the penis. Perhaps this waffle wiener represents the start of a new cock-centric culture for Taiwan, or maybe young Taiwanese people are just comfortable with sexuality. The next time you’re in Taipei, why not try discarding those dated conceptions of the human body as something obscene and wrap your lips around a penis pancake yourself?

Quote:Beijing hotpot restaurant serves up Barbie doll wrapped in meat that you undress while you eat
[Image: meat_doll3.jpg]
A hotpot restaurant is drawing some heat online, thanks to its new menu item -- a Barbie doll wrapped up in strips of mutton.
Typically, a hotpot restaurant serves its customers with plates of meat that they cook at their leisure; however, one hotpot restaurant in Beijing provides diners with a beautiful female doll in a red gown.
Well, upon closer inspection, she's actually wrapped up in strips of mutton (芭比羊肉衣), Shanghai Daily reports. Therefore, if diners want to eat the mutton, they have to peel off each layer of meat, slowly undressing the Barbie, exposing her naked plastic to everyone.

While the restaurant owner must have thought that this was a brilliant idea to promote his hotpot shop, netizens on Weibo are a bit disgusted by the "sexist" display.
"Why can't we just eat meats without any kind of stupid tricks like this?" one asked.
"It's very disgusting. We don't even know whether the staff cleaned the doll or not," another commented.
"Let's just throw the doll into the hotpot! It's really time consuming to pull away all those strips of meat," one netizen joked.
Wait, where have we seen that meat dress before? Some netizens immediately thought of the recently possibly banned Lady Gaga, saying that the hotpot restaurant should stop trying to imitate Lady Gaga's style, because apparently it isn't working.

Apparently, this place didn't get the memo that China is trying to cut its meat consumpion in half.
