The restaurant claims to be inspired by the 'compassionate cannibalism' of the Brazilian Waricaca tribe.


The online campaign by Flime in Berlin has called for diners to "donate any part of their body" as well as looking for an "open-minded surgeon".

However, politicians have condemned the restaurant for being a tasteless PR stunt according to Der Spiegel.
So far the location of the restaurant, if there is one, has not been disclosed.
"Members" willing to participate in the cannibal "Wari-culture" of the restaurant are asked to fill out a form.
It includes questions about medical fitness, Body Mass Index, how often one exercises and even if the donor is pregnant.
The restaurant claims to be inspired by the "compassionate cannibalism" of the Brazilian Waricaca tribe.
The website explains: "We see feasting as a spiritual act, in which the spirit and strength of the consumed creature is given to the guests."
Michael Braun, vice chairman of Berlin's Christian Democrats told Bild newspaper that he had received emails complaining about the restaurant.
He said: "I am assuming it is a misguided joke. But it is disgusting.
"In particular because a resident of Berlin was murdered by a cannibal not too long ago."
It is thought that he was referring to self-styled cannibal Armin Meiwes who was sentenced to life in 2006 after killing and eating a fellow Berliner who volunteered for the task.
Bernd Jurgen Brandes, a computer technician, volunteered to be eaten by Meiwes in 2001. The cannibal chopped off Brandes' penis and ate it after cooking it in garlic, salt and pepper.
He continued to eat the corpse over the next few months. By the time he was arrested Meiwes had eaten around 44lb of flesh

Fucking sicko Krauts.

Fucking sicko Krauts.

Served with kraut

Will there be different cuisines on offer? For example, I believe the cannibals of Bavaria have a diferent approach to penis schnitzel then say the Alsatians. Will there be Breast Bratwurst, Rartatouille of the Rectum or Kidney Kabobs? I'm sure some people are salivating at the prospect of a tasty testicle torte or perhaps a Vichysoise of Vagina, or maybe even Prepuce Popovers.

More like a spin off from the second world war!

Never trust a Kraut anywhere, certanly in the kitchen.

German eatery advertises for human donors and an ‘open minded surgeon’

One can only guess at the kind of clientele it will attract, but a restaurant in Germany is planning to serve up human flesh when it opens next month. That's assuming it's not all an elaborate joke.

The Berlin eatery, called Flime, has been searching for donors who are prepared to give "any part of their body" to the cause. And, as well as hiring kitchen staff, it is in need of an "open-minded surgeon" to help with the business of preparing the meals.

The restaurant, set to open on September 8, claims it has been inspired by an Amazonian tribe, the Waricacas, and their culture of "compassionate cannibalism" which sees tribespeople eat their own dead.

On its website Flime asks potential members of its dining club to fill out a form that contains questions about their health and Body Mass Index and states: "After the medical check, you can decide which body part you want to donate."

However, adverts for the restaurant running in German newspapers and on the internet, have caused outrage.

Some, however, suspect a ruse. Michael Braun, the vice-chairman of Berlin's Christian Democrat party, said he believed the whole thing was "a stunt". He told the German newspaper Bild: "I'm working on the assumption that this is some sort of a warped joke. But it's disgusting, not least because it wasn't long ago that we had the case of the Berliner who was murdered by a cannibal."

That is a reference to the case of Armin Meiwes, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2006 for killing and eating a computer technician. Earlier this year a French prison inmate, Nicolas Cocaign (above) was sentenced to 30 years for killing his cellmate and cooking and eating part of his lung.

Whether or not it is a sick joke is hard to tell from the menu, which is vague about the provenance of its ingredients. Most of the dishes simply claim to contain 'meat'. Although it does intend to serve Baiao De Dois, a stew of 'jowls', while another dish is described as 'liver with butter beans' - washed down with a bottle of nice Chianti, no doubt.

Don't know what all the fuss is about?

He looks like a perfectly normal Kraut to me.

Great marketing stunt though!

Cashing in on the recent case in Germany where a psycho found a volunteer online to be eaten in a perverted sexual fantasy. The gruesome details were enough to make you puke.

[mr Fred]

Someone told me that Germans had no sense of humour.
That was clearly bollocks



















(possibly served with boiled potatoes, carrots and a nice onion gravy)

[Jools]

I didn't know they served "halal" food in that part of Der Faderland.

[keda]

I volunteer all 3 of them.

[Pol the Pot]

If it isn't a joke the place deserves to be fire- bombed.

Fucking taboo- breakers need their heads broken.
