A very posh, stylish (and dimly lit) restaurant, where people would sit down to eat after having some part removed. Or the top of their skull, a la Hannibal. The idea frankly sickened me a bit too much. But I fancied that the most expensive dish should be the heart of the chef. Yeah, I wish I could get that scene out of my head, the hospital smells from anesthetics mingled with blood oozing from fresh amputations onto evening dresses and tuxedos, and some very, very pale patrons.

So you don't have to lose your head about it. And besides, I bet the wait staff in such a place is trained to be very disarming with their more irate patrons.

I hear the kitchen staff uses a lot of elbow grease. We went there the other night because we were having friends for dinner. I'd recommend the lady fingers served with head cheese, followed by filet of sole. But avoid the Napolean dessert -- I hear it's not fresh. :-) Ah, at last a restaurant with real heart!

It could start two trends at once: new cuisine sensation, and new far-out death ritual. If it ever became legal, it should thrive. Cannibalism with voluntary donors?
