An Unlikely Ingredient…ew

jessica-simpson-mm01.jpgA new cookbook just came out called…*ahem* Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes.


By Mandy

Go ahead, do a doubletake. You will find that the title does indeed include the word semen…and yes, it is about concockting (teeheehee) recipes using bodily fluids.

I’m all about the whole “Don’t knock it ’til you try it” thing, but I might have to reconsider that notion in this case.

Lulu.com is selling the book for a mere $24.95 if you are interested in adding a little twist to this years Thanksgiving dinner, and I think their description of the book is absolutely disturbing…and borderline hysterical:

“Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food. This book hopes to change that. Once you overcome any initial hesitation, you will be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients – you will love this cook book!”

What do you think CCers…Would you take the plunge and try a Strawberry Splasharita with one heaping tablespoon of fresh semen?

    OMG this would make a wonderful gag gift. It's positively disgusting. Recreate oysters with semen? Yuck. Too bad it's $25 bucks

    I wonder how one is supposed to procure this key ingredient. "Come here, big boy…mama needs to bake a cake."

    Ew! That is totally disgusting! I definitely wouldn't touch that cook-book even with a foot-long pole! But hey, for those that love to experiment, give it a try.

    Haha it would be horrible if restaurant chefs became inspired by the book and started featuring semen in dishes.

    Don't knock it….semen is very versatile as an ingredient. It whips well, so is very suitable on a dessert, but care must be taken when heating it. Gently, gently, is the rule. Collecting enough of the ingredient can be more difficult than you think.

Tell us what you're thinking...
