Pleasure comes in many forms, but have you ever imagined eating [sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-sushi-course) from inside of a human body? I know I haven't--but it seems that some people have, as seen in this Sushi Cannibalism Party.

Ah, the creative ways people come up with to satisfy the human mind.

**Implications** - The process involves creating a body out of food and serving it on an [operating table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-fine-dining). In order to dig in, you can cut open the giant dish anywhere you want and eat the completely edible insides. Crazily enough, the body will actually "bleed" as it is cut, meaning that this [ultra macabre style of feasting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-cemetery-box) is also surprisingly realistic. It's gross but cool!
