If you thought Nyotaimori (’body sushi’ or the practice of serving sushi on naked women) was weird, wait till you see this feast for the gastronoics! Oh, there’s a male version of Nyotaimori as well called Nantaimori before anyone starts talking about objectification of women. Although, I must admit morality still doesn’t come into play much here either. (Well… I *suppose* if it’s a ridiculously good looking Korean male model with a Rain-esque body, then watcha gonna do right?)
So, as far as I can make out, this practice called “Cannibalism Banquet” is taking body sushi to a whole ‘nother level. Basically, a life size replica of a human body is made and stuffed piƱata style with food covered in red sauce, for authentic blood lickingness. Ewk, I hope that doesn’t mean tastingness too… Then it’s wheeled out to you on a hospital operation table.

The sauce is also placed under the skin of the body so when the carving of the flesh commences, the fake blood starts dripping out all lifelike and such. If that doesn’t get your tastebuds wagging and your mouth drooling, I dunno what does.

Yumminess! I wonder what’s with that fourth finger on the edible corpse. It’s all out of shape…
Anyhoo, here’s a peek inside the chest at all the delicious intestines and organ goodies.

Woah, all I can say is you’d be needing the Johnny Walker to get you in the mood to try that meal.
I can’t find any other pictures on the internet besides these ones for Cannibalism Banquet Japan however. That makes me wonder if this is a one off weird thing that someone did for his friends, or if there’s a Japanese name for it I’m not finding.
