There are "Bizarre Foods" out there as television personality Andrew Zimmern knows about, and then there are truly bizarre foods. The latter can be said for what Mao Sugiyama served to his guests at a banquet in Tokyo, Japan last month. The self-described "asexual" chef from Tokyo seasoned and cooked his own genitals for five diners.

The transsexual from Tokyo offered up his entire set of male genitalia as a meal for 100,000 yen that he would prepare and cook how the buyer requested. Sugiyama tweeted that last month and got some buyers so the dinner was on.

According to Calorielab.com, Sugiyama publicly seasoned and braised his own genitals on a portable gas burner. After cooking, he served them to five guests who ended up paying about $250 each for the meal. There was meant to be a sixth diner, but they were a no-show.

Sugiyama had the genitals surgically removed back in April for his 22nd birthday, had them frozen, and returned to him. They were then used for the dinner in which Sugiyama dressed as a chef and cooked them himself under the supervision of a licensed food prep specialist.

The five diners participating in the eating of Sugiyama's genitals were required to sign a waiver releasing the former owner and event organizers from any liability that may arise from consumption. Examiner
