In a curious culinary twist, an Israeli restaurant has whipped up a storm of reactions online with its unconventional approach to serving ice cream. The sight of brown ice cream presented in a toilet-themed dish has triggered laughter and disgust, as evidenced by a viral TikTok video that has taken social media by storm.
In a viral clip from Gordos, a restaurant in Holon, just south of Tel Aviv, Israel, the cringe-worthy video features a server delivering a dish shaped like a porcelain toilet to a group of diners.?
Afterward, the server lifts the commode lid, unveiling a spectacle of chocolate ice cream (or maybe dulce de leche?) artfully arranged within the bowl, resembling the aftermath of a less-than-pleasant gastrointestinal event.
Surprisingly unfazed by the ice cream's imitation of something far less appetizing, the diners enthusiastically plunge their spoons into the dessert, playfully savoring the concoction while sharing hearty laughter. As for this peculiar culinary creation's origins, its inspiration remains uncertain.
To sum up, the source of this strange dessert's inspiration is still a mystery. Some think it might represent a Dada-style comment on the future of dining, suggesting that everything ends up in the toilet, like Marcel Duchamp's unique artwork "Fountain" from 1917.
While some viewers found the fecal-themed treat too much to handle, questioning its consumption with comments like "And people eat this s**t?" and expressing their shock and discomfort, the dessert's name, "Third House of St," caused additional controversy.?
Critics argued that this name, with potential religious implications related to the Third Temple in Jewish tradition, lacked respect for religious beliefs.
Although not the first culinary endeavor inspired by waste, this concept isn't novel. Similar ideas, such as Taiwan's Modern Toilet chain serving toilet-themed dishes, have existed globally for years. While creative, let's be grateful that toilet bowls haven't yet been used to serve beverages.
